Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate "static" balance characteristics in four and eight year old children performing six developmental tasks leading to upright stance. The data were evaluated with electromyographic, center of gravity and photographic procedures. The results of the study indicated that the older age group of children demonstrated higher degrees of motor control in all the balance tasks involving upper and/or lower extremity support of the trunk. The eight year old children showed less postural sway, more definitive muscular localizations and smaller degrees of motor activity occurring during the execution of the developmental tasks.
