The purpose of the present study is to find a good index for representing how the righting reflex is exacerbated with advancing age. We carried out stabilometry for standing subjects who were healthy adults with age<51 (9M&11F, younger group) and ≧51(22M&8F,elderly group).The stabilometry required the subjects to stand on a stabilometer with fixing their eyes to the screen(1 min)and their eyes closed(the following 1 min).Statokinesigrams resulting from the stabilometry were analyzed by 8 indices.In the "Eyes opened" state, significant changes in previous indices were not found by a decline in the equilibrial function with advancing age. Our proposed index, a total of local sums of forces on chains I, was regarded as the most robust and appropriate index to statokinesigrams for the "Eyes opened/closed"state. This index was applied to the simulation of the elderly (pseudo-elderly study);the subjects were healthy adults with age of 19-29 (5M&19F)and wore apparatuses as glasses, earplugs, and weights in the stabilometry. These indices obtained from the statokinesigrams indicated that pseudo-elderly group was the most stable, and the elderly group was the least., 国立情報学研究所で電子化したコンテンツを使用している。}, pages = {85--90}, title = {Characteristic Changes of Sway of Center of Gravity with Advancing Afe}, volume = {47}, year = {2003} }
