Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze tilting reaction of frontal and sagittal directions on healthy men using electric balance board. The subjects for the study were 33 normal adults (male 25, female 8). They were 19 to 33 years old with an average age of 23.0 years, an average height of 169.3 cm and an average weight of 60.8 kg.
The results obtained are as follows;
1. Tilting reaction at frontal and sagittal directions showed a decrease of inclination of head and trunk parts for increasing velocity of inclination. There were significant at a five percent level of confidence.
2. Tilting reaction with blindford showed a decrease of inclination of head and truk parts for inclination, then no significant confidence.
3. Velocity of inclination on one degree per second, showed a rising tendency at frontal and sagittal direction comparing blindfold.
4. Velocity of inclination on three degrees per second, showed significant at one and five percent levels of confidece at comparing blindfold, then sagittal direction did one and five percent levels of confidence only left inclination.
