Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Limits of Stability
Limits of stability test evaluates dynamic balance of participants. Computerized balance system measured limits of stability for forward, backward, right and left side movements. It calculates the maximum distance a person can lean without losing balance. The unit of measure is centimeters. The higher value is indicated the better balance.

Study Arms (2)
Experimental Group: Balance analysis
EXPERIMENTALSixty older subjects will be evaluated in this study. Muscle thickness and balance will be assessed by ultrasonography and Computerized Balance system respectively.
Control Group:Balance Analysis
ACTIVE COMPARATORSixty young subjects will be evaluated in this study. Muscle thickness and balance will be assessed by ultrasonography and Computerized Balance system respectively.
Interventions
Balance analysis is assessment method to estimate fall of risk and deterioration of postural control.
