It is necessary to establish an index for evaluation of fall possibility, because falls in elderly people lead to serious injuries. As the cause of falls is strongly related to the body balance ability, the purpose of this is to research the index to evaluate the fall possibility by using mesurement of body sway. Forty-six experienced and one hundred seventy-three inexperienced subjects of falls within the period of one year were mesured the body sway to research the relationship between experience of fall that is an index of fall possibility and the results on the analysis of the body sway. As the results, PL (AP) which was the average velocity of body sway on the direction of anterior-posterior and RD (ML) which was the average radial displacement on the direction of mediolateral showed significant higher value compared to the inexperienced one. On the comparison of age-related changes, PL (AP) showed the decline of balance ability with aging accurately. Through these results, it turned out that PL (AP) was the most available to evaluate the fall possibility.
