According to the basic motor ability model (Nagasaki et al, 1995) constructed of three factors (walking, balance, and hand power), a 7-item physical performance test (grip strength, tapping, one-leg standing with eyes open and with eyes closed, beam walking, preferred speed walking and maximum speed walking) was administered to 181 adults with intellectual disabilities (age 18-68 years). Factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were used. Results were as follows: (1) The three factors of walking function, balance function and hand function were shown by factor analysis. (2) The walking function related to IQ and presence/absence of Down Syndrome. The subjects with higher IQ demonstrated a better walking function score. The subjects with Down Syndrome showed lower walking function. (3) The balance function involved IQ, presence/absence of Down Syndrome, and presence/absence of autism. The subjects with higher IQ also demonstrated a better walking function score. The subjects with autism revealed higher function, and with Down Syndrome lower. (4) The hand function related to IQ and sex. The subjects with higher IQ also revealed a better hand function score. Male subjects showed higher functions. This study determined characteristics of motor ability in persons with intellectual disabilities and some related factors.
