Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the balance ability at different foot position with KAT2000 (Berg, Inc, vista, CA .1994). thirty (male 15, female 15) normal subjects participated in this study. All subjects were tested at one or two leg position that using toe-in 25° and 45°, toe-out 25° and 45°. The starting position was that subject crossed their arms across chest and flexed knees slightly. The results of each test were showed by a score on screen, which means balance index. These collected data were analyzed by using one way ANOVA and t-test. The results of this study were as follows: 1) There was not the dirt difference that noted statistically to have changed two leg position and one leg position, but balance accomplishment ability was better in 25° than 45°. 2) There was not the dirt difference that noted statistically to have changed two leg position and a situation of one leg position, but the time balance accomplishment ability that the rest was all located with except toe-in 25° was good with the right foot. 3) According to sex, balance accomplishment ability was better a woman than a man in one leg position (toe-in 25°, 45°) and in two legs position (toe-in 25°).
