Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the limits of stability(LOS) data obtained from aged 20 to 69 years. In addition, this study was carried out to know correlation between age and LOS. 150 adults without neurosurgical and orthopedic disability from 20 to 69 years of age participared in this study. The LOS was measured at Two Feet Forceplate with BPM(Balance Performance Monitor) Dataprint Software Version 5.3. In this study applied the independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and correlation analysis to determine the statistical significance of results at 0.05 level of significance. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The anteroposterior LOS significantly differented from 40 age group to 60 age group. 2. The mediolateral LOS significantly differencted from 50 age group to 60 age group. 3. There were statistically significant differences in anteroposterior LOS according to age increasing.
