The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of knee compression band on balance during single-leg stance. The participants consisted of healthy adult male(n=9). The analyzed variables included of the ΔCOP(center of pressure)x, ΔCOPy, CDP area, medial-lateral COP, and anterior-posterior COP during single leg stance. As a result, Δ COPx, Δ COPy, and COP area didn't show significant differences statistically according to the bilateral stance legs(p>.05), but wearing of knee compression band showed decrease than that of non-wearing of knee compression band(p< .01). Also, ML COP didn’t show significant differences statistically according to the bilateral stance legs and wearing of knee compression band(p >.05), while, AP COP at dominant leg(right leg) showed decrease than that of non-dominant leg(left leg) during one stance leg(p<.05). Combined, these results show that knee compression band may provide both a performance enhancement and an injury reduction role during static-based posture control.
