 note = {Objectives: This study aimed to determine the association between time to maximum reach in the floor test （henceforth referred to as floor reach test）, standing balance, muscle strength, and joint range of motion.
Method: We enrolled 29 hospitalized patients who could stand. We measured the time required to perform a floor reach test （henceforth referred to as floor time） to the front, healthy side, and impaired side. Furthermore, we measured standing balance test, Berg balance scale as an overall balance index, muscle strength of the trunk, lower limbs and the joint range of motion. We used Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient to select variables for the statistical analysis. Consequently, a canonical correlation analysis using floor time in three directions was used as the dependent variable to investigate trends among variables. Furthermore, we used multiple regression analysis to clarify factors influencing floor time in each direction.
Results: Floor time in three directions was related to standing balance, muscle strength, and joint range of motion. The Berg balance scale had a strong influence in all directions.
Conclusion: The measurement of floor time may lead to a comprehensive understanding of standing balance ability.},
