Single-Leg Balance: Males, Age 80+

What these numbers mean

A value around 1.9 s is typical (50th percentile) for males in this age group. Scores above about 9.8 s fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance. Scores below about 1.7 s fall near the 25th percentile; about 75% of the reference population scored higher.

The test has a 60-second ceiling, so percentile norms are only informative from age 50 onward.

This test has a 60-second maximum. Most healthy adults under 50 can hold a single-leg stance for the full 60 seconds, so this metric is most informative for ages 50 and above. Where multiple percentiles equal 60 s, the test cannot distinguish performance at those levels.

This percentile chart shows how common a value is, not whether it is healthy.
