Four kinds of vestibular function test, such as rail test, twice-rotating stepping test, walking test and one-foot standing test with a posture of an airplane-form, had been carried in 4319 pupils of seven primary schools and five middle schools in Kanagawa prefecture in both 1975 and 1976.
Mean values of the scores and their standard deviations on those examinations were obtained. Correlation coefficients between each pair of values, which were scores on four kinds of equilibrium test, a grade in school, a Rohrer index and a gymnastic record in school, were calculated by using an electronic computor of FACOM 230-38. Correlation between a grade in school and each score on equilibrium function tests were recognized with significance at the error level of 0.1%. However, the vestibular function in boys was not different from the function in girls at significant level. The children living in the suburbs showed better scores on rail test, twice-rotating stepping test and walking test than the children who live in the city.
The difference observed on those equilibrium function tests between the two groups was confirmed staistically with significance at the error level of 0.1%.
