Few studies have investigated the physical stability and mobility of elderly women, flexibility and specificacceptability of lower body. This study aims to evaluate of body function and dynamic balance in elderly women byusing FMS and Y-balance. Twenty one women were divided into two groups according to age. Elderly womengroup(EG, n = 11, 63.7±3.9yrs) and young women(YG, n = 10, 22.7±1.4yrs). Body movement function was measuredby Functional movement screen(FMS) and dynamic balance was measured by Y-balance test(YBT). Independent t-testswere performed to verify item differences between groups. In the FMS, Inline lunge and Shoulder mobility of EGwere statistically lower than YG (p <.01). In the YBT, the values of posteriolateral and posteriomedial balance of theleft leg of the EG were statistically lower than those of YG (p <.05). These results suggested that when performingexercise for elderly women, functional movements such as flexibility of the Shoulder and waist region should beimproved and the dynamic balance of the left lower limb should be developed.
