This study investigated the static balance performance of 20 nonhandicapped and 20 learning disabled male children in Texas by comparing mean distances of center of pressure displacement as measured by a forceplate. Specifically, mean displacements in the medial-lateral plane during five static balance tests were measured from a neutral starting position. Hypotheses of no significant difference between the scores of the two groups were tested for overall balance performance (equal mean vectors) and differences between group means. This report describes the testing instruments used and the test methodology and then illustrates the test positions for the five static balance tests. Descriptive statistical data obtained from the tests were computed on the subject group means on the score determination of static balance performance and time-in-balance. Each of the hypotheses of no significant difference in static balance performance between the nonhandicapped and learning disabled subject groups was accepted. (JD)
