Results

This study was a single-center, cross-sectional observational study of 50 healthy older adults.
A multivariate analysis was conducted with balance function as the dependent variable and age, height, static SVV, and visual dependence as the independent variables.
The results suggested that visual dependence was significantly associated with static standing balance (mean sway velocity in the lateral direction) in the eyes-closed and form-on conditions.

Other related information

In this study, we are conducting a cross-sectional study to investigate the relationship between subjective visual vertical position and balance function in community-dwelling, healthy older adults. To this end, the following information will be collected.

Basic Information
Age, gender, height, weight, dominant hand, medication information, cognitive function (MMSE)

Balance function
Mini-BESTest, Total path length, amplitude, etc. according to 6 conditions(eye opening/hard surface, eye closing/hard surface, eye opening/soft surface, eye closing/soft surface, optokinetic stimulation (left/right torsional stimulation)/hard surface).

The conventional bucket method has been used to measure SVV. However, the Virtual Reality (VR) method has attracted attention in recent years because it can easily measure not only static SVV but also dynamic SVV.
Therefore, to verify the reliability of the measurement, only the SVV measurement will be re-measured after one week. Relative reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient) and absolute reliability (Minimum Detectable Change: MDC) will then be verified. The relationship between the SVV measured in the initial assessment and the balance function will be verified.
