| dc.description.abstract | Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate dynamic balance and to ascertain relationships between dynamic anterior-posterior balance and dynamic lateral balance. The specific problem was to determine whether dynamic balance in an anterior posterior direction is significantly related to dynamic balance in a lateral direction or whether anterior-posterior balance and lateral balance are different and independent factors involved in the total function of dynamic balance. Method: The methods used to examine to examine the hypothesis set for the in this study included an investigation of related literature, a controlled experimental examination, and a statistical analysis. The investigation of related literature included a thorough examination of pertinent studies in the area of balance. The controlled experimental examination included the administration of two dynamic balance tests to forty subjects. The data were obtained from the performance scores of the subjects. The statistical analysis included the use of coefficients of correlation, and the t-test for significant differences in the mean scores. Findings: Within the limits and design of this study, the analysis of the data revealed the following major findings: 1. Although there was some relationship between dynamic anterior-posterior balance and dynamic lateral balance, the relationship was not great enough to be of predictive value. 2. An individual’s ability to balance in a lateral direction was significantly superior to his ability to balance in an anterior-posterior direction. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study it was concluded that anterior-posterior balance ad lateral balance are different and independent factors involved in the total function of dynamic balance. | |
