Abstract

The relationship between balance and ankle muscle characteristics (strength and flexibility) may be important to identify those at an increased risk of falling and to develop fall-prevention training programs. The association between ankle muscle characteristics (strength and flexibility) and balance has not previously been studied. The purpose of this study assessed the relationship between ankle muscle characteristics and balance. Sixteen healthy participants volunteered to participate in the study. Dynamic balance measured using Y-balance kit. Ankle muscle characteristics (strength and flexibility) measured using hand-held dynamometer and goniometry. The results indicated a positive correlation between ankle invertor muscle strength and Y-balance test performance. Clinicians should consider ankle muscle strength during therapeutic interventions to improve dynamic balance.

균형과 발목 근육 특성 (근력과 유연성) 사이의 관계는 낙상 위험의 증가에 대한 규명과 낙상방지 훈련프로그램을 발전시키기 위해서 중요할 것이다. 발목 근육 특성(근력과 유연성)과 균형사이의 관계는 이전에 연구되지 않았다. 이 연구의 목적은 발목근육특성과 균형사이의 관계를 평가하는 것이다. 16명의 건강한 참가자들이 본 연구에 자원하였다. 동적 균형은 와이-발란스 (Y-balance) 키트를 이용하여 측정하였다. 발목 근육 특성 (근력과 유연성)은 악력계와 고니어미터를 사용하여 측정하였다. 발목내번근력과 와이-발란스 (Y-balance) 측정 수행능력 사이에 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 임상가들은 동적균형의 발전을 위해서 치료적 중재를 하는 동안 발목 근력을 고려해야 한다.
