The aim of this study was to determine the muscle strength of pelvic rotation of a rolling-over activity in the young and old, and to get the index of an independent rolling-over activity in the evaluation of the old. The old group with independent activities of daily living consisted of 27 females (mean age; 83.1±6.9 years, range; 68-97 years, and mean weight; 43.3±8.2kg, range; 29-56kg), while the young group included 15 females (mean age; 20.7±0.6 years, range: 19-21 years, and mean weight: 54.3±7.3kg, range: 43-67kg). In the rolling-over activity on a mat, the muscle strength was measured by using a hand-held dynamometer. The strength of the old showed 5.6±1.6kgf (0.129±0.04kgf per 1 kg body weight), whereas that of the young indicated 13.9±3.1kgf (0.257±0.05kgf). Significant difference was found between the groups at the 1 % level. It should be noted that the mean value of the old corresponds to nearly 40% of that of the young. Current data show that the muscle strength of pelvic rotation might indicate an index for old persons to roll over.
