As subjects, 3 young males participated in the experiments, and I applied markers to subject's body. After that, by using force plates, I observed COP during sustained maximal forward and backward leaning when the stability limits was changed. We have defined the stability limits that reflect the limits of COP. Then, by using infrared cameras as well as force plates, I observed positions of each joint, floor reaction forces and COP during STS when the stability limits was changed. As the stability limits decreased, the fall risk got higher. The fall risk of STS in the strategy with bending the body forward was higher than that in the strategy without bending when the stability limits was 80% and 100%. This result means loss of the stability limits cause a high risk of a fall during STS for the elderly. If Ankle extension/bending muscle strength goes into a decline or the angle that we can bend ankle joint is restricted, the stability limits will decrease.
