Objective: To evaluate the relationship between anthropometric characteristics and body-balancing movements when standing on 2 legs with eyes open and eyes closed. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: A university physiatry laboratory. Participants: One hundred randomly selected subjects (50 men, 50 women; age range, 31[ndash ]80y). Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Anthropomorphic: body height, weight, lower-extremity distances, foot lengths, and widest widths of the forefeet and heels. Body movements: 2-legged stance with eyes open and eyes closed, measured with the MacReflex Motion Capture System and calculated as maximal and total movements in 3 dimensions. The relation between the measured anthropometric characteristics and body-balancing movements was calculated by using regression analysis. Results: In the eyes-open condition, maximal lateral knee movement was related to body height and foot length ( R 2 =.065, P [lt ].05). Both anteroposterior (AP) head movement ( R 2 =.068, P [lt ].05) and AP navel movement ( R 2 =.083, P [lt ].05) were related to heel width. AP knee movement was related to foot length and heel width ( R 2 =.089, P [lt ].05). Body mass index was related to AP ankle movement ( R 2 =.074, P [lt ].05) and to vertical ankle movement ( R 2 =.063, P [lt ].05). In the eyes-closed condition, body mass index was related to the vertical navel movement ( R 2 =.059, P [lt ].05) and body height to AP knee movement ( R 2 =.041, P [lt ].05). Conclusion: The levels of significance are not high but warrant attention. It seems that there was no single anthropometric factor that explained the variations in body-balancing movements during standing.
