Abstract

There are many reports measuring muscular strength, equilibrium sensation and walking ability, etc. in order to reduce fall risk of the elderly. However, there are no studies based on the self-evaluation of the physical sensation and motor function of the elderly himself and the difference in self recognition by age. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between motor function measurement in elderly people and self-evaluation of body sensation, motor function by interview and their fall history. There was a significant positive correlation between ADL and one-leg standing time with eyes open. However, there was no difference one-leg standing time between the groups which have fall experience or not.
