 note = {本研究は,高齢者用バランスボードN型(BN)と,身体機能及び転倒既往の有無との関連を分析し,BNによるバランス機能と転倒リスクの評価の有用性を検討した。対象は,高齢者50名(平均年齢80.4±7.7歳)であった。BNによるバランス機能評価結果は,BNの高さと保持できた時間によって4群(Grade I～IV)に分類した。その他の身体機能評価は,Berg Balance Scale, 体幹筋力,立ち上がり能力,歩行スピードを測定した。また,過去6ヶ月の転倒歴の有無を問診した。BNによるバランス機能評価と年齢,体幹筋力,BBS,歩行スピード,転倒歴に有意な関連があった。転倒歴の有無を目的変数としたロジスティック回帰分析の結果,Grade IV群(BNによるバランス機能評価が最も低い群)は他の群と比較して,転倒リスクのオッズ比が14.3(95%CI:1.47-138.6)であった。BNによるバランス機能評価は,高齢者の身体機能と関連し,転倒リスク者のスクリーニングとして,簡易な評価法であると思われた。, The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between standing postural control test using the Balance Board and performance of physical function in the elderly, and to determine whether it could be used to predict an elderly person's risk of falling. The study included 50 elderly subjects average aged 80.4 (SD; 7.7) years. Standing postural control test using the Balance Board was classified into four categories based on the duration of standing times on the Balance Board (less than 30 sec or more) and the height of the Balance Board. Performance of physical function was assessed by the Berg Balance Scale, trunk muscle strength, lower-extremity muscle strength, walking speed (using a high-speed and moderate-speed) and histories of falls. Statistical analysis revealed that the standing postural control test using the Balance Board was significantly correlated with age, Berg Balance Scale, trunk muscle strength, walking speed and histories of falls. Analysis using logistic regression revealed that of the elderly classified into category IV, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) of having falls was 14.3 (95% CI 1.47-138.6), compared with the elderly in the other groups. Standing postural control test using the Balance Board may be a simple and easy-to-use clinical measure of balance functional level and that has validity in preventing recurrent falls., 理学療法学. 29(2), p.43-48: 2002},
