Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate whether mat exercise and field exercise have effectiveness on the balance and gait in older adults. Thirty subjects were participated in this study. And they were all randomly divided into mat exercise and field exercise group. To evaluate the effects of mat and field exercise, subjects were evaluated by using One Leg Stand test which was static balance test, and Berg Balance test which was dynamic balance test. Finally Gait pattern was assessed by using 3-dimensional gait analysis system. The assessment parameters were evaluated before, after 3 weeks, and after 6 weeks treatments. And we received a consent form from all subjects. The results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that One Leg Stand, Berg Balance, Stride length, Cadence, Velocity were significantly increased after than before exercise in both groups. So we conclude that therapeutic exercise that is mat and field exercise has effectiveness on the balance and gait in older adults.

65세 이상 노인 30명을 대상으로 매트 운동과 필드 운동을 6주간 실시한 후 운동전, 3주 후, 그리고 6주 후에 균형과 보행에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 측정은 외다리 기립 검사, 버그 균형 검사, 그리고 3차원 동작분석기를 이용하여 보행 분석을 실시하였다. 반복측정자료 분산분석 결과, 시간과 그룹 간 상호작용 효과는 활보길이에서 유의한 차이가 있었고, 외다리 기립, 버그 균형, 분속수, 속도는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 중재기간 별 효과크기를 검정해 본 결과 중재 전과 중재 6주 후, 중재 3주 후와 중재 6주 후에서 유의한 차이가 있었다.
