ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study were to determine the relationship between balance ability and visual perception ability in health elderly. Twenty healthy elderly who live in Wonju City participated in three tests (Berg Balance Test, One-Legged Stance Test, Motor-free Visual Perception Test). Collected data were analyzed by the independent t-test and Pearson test. The study results showed a significant relationship between dynamic balance ability and visual perception ability (p < 0.01). Dynamic balance ability and visual perc-eption ability were significantly better in men than in women (p < 0.05, p< 0.01).
