Background
and Objective: Age is
related to motion coordination. It is necessary to distinguish age variations
to recognize functional changes in human. The correlation between these indices
has not been studied in structural equations model however, in much performed
studies about performing clinical motion function standards, the effects of
these variations have been studied to perform functional exams and also the
correlation between age and anthropometric indices. Hence the correlation
between motional function standard and anthropometric indices and age were
investigated in this study.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was
performed by multiple measurements on 133 participants aged 18- 59 years old
and by available sampling method. The data were collected using anthropometric
factors measuring and recording the duration of clinical balance tests
performance. Three models were evaluated separately. The method of the
structure equations modeling was used to analyze data.
Results: The third model indicated suitable fitting of data better
than the other models (RMSEA = 0.038, CFI = 0.992), X2 was not
significant (p= 0.260). Also in the three models, standard coefficient were
significant between the path way of functional tests performance and age
(0.540), and between the path way of age and anthropometric indices (0.340).
Conclusion: The age affects clinical balance test and anthropometric
indices. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the index of age as a standard
which influences tests performance to study clinical diagnosis in order to
evaluate sport damages such as head damage.
