Abstrakt		Stabilometry by an AMTI force platform and a new measuring frame was used for quantitative evaluation of standing balance. The new device is an instrumented, statistical and fixed modified walking frame with a measuring system sensitive to loading effects in vertical direction. Results of the measurements in thirty elderly vounteers were compared with the results of a control group of adult people. One-legged stance test as a functional body position, showed a significantly greater leaning on the measuring frame by the elederly than the control group. Standing on the right leg, the vertical force on the measuring frame was greater on the left side, and vice versa. Less important were greater summary parameters for the force platform and the measuring frame for the group of elderly, e. g. mean sway velocity and mean sway radius, than for the vontrol group. In spite of the great interindividual variability of loads on measuring frame, there were no i portant differences in results between the first and second measurement in smaller group of volunteers. Quantification of Romberg test by force platform showed statistically significantly greater mean sway velocity, mean frequency of body sway and amplitude of sway in lateral direction in the elderly than in the control group. The Romberg test with the use of the measuring frame was the least difficult for healthy volunteers, and showed less important differences between both age groups. The measuring frame provided security to the examinees, thus enabling us to carry out all the test without any danger of an examinee's fall due to a loss of balance, even in the one-leg stance with the eyes closed. The measuring frame is a useful device for the evaluation of static balance of the elderly.
