Özet:

 

Purpose: This study was planned to examine the relationship between body flexibility and stability in the elderly and to compare it with adults.Methods: People over 40-year-of-age had no musculoskeletal problems in the spine, had good cognitive functions, and could walk independently were included in this cross-sectional study. 156 participants were grouped as the young  n: 65  and the elderly group  n: 91 . Flexibility assessment included Sit and Reach Test  SRT , Back Extension Test  BET  and Side Bending Test  SBT . Antero-posterior stability of body was measured by Functional Reach Test  FRT .Results: The flexibility of trunk in four directions and stability were better in young group than elderly group  p0.05 .Conclusion: Loss of flexibility is a more important risk factor than aging for balance and stability impairment. So it is suggested that treatment protocols should include approaches increasing body flexibility to increase body stability.
