Abstract: Currently, the industry association of judo therapists currently attempts to enter into various industries besides their existing Judo therapy business.In such case, one of the issues would be how the industry association corresponds when they are requested to provide data or documents to prove the usability of Judo therapy.It is considered that many Judo therapists would not objectively judge their own treatment effectiveness in Judo therapy at present.Therefore, we conducted a research whether there could be statistically significant difference between values of body sway extracted by Wii Fit board (Nintendo) and values extracted by Force Plate (Kistler) which is widely used in sports biomechanics, rehabilitation, and engineering field.The study subjects were total 46 college students ; 24 males (average age : 21.1±0.4) and 22 females (average age : 20.2±2.6) .When we evaluated with t-test corresponding to the range area (1.76cm 2 ±0.93) extracted by Wii Fit board and the outer peripheral area (2.27cm 2 ±1.71) extracted by Force Plate, we found no significant difference between those groups (p=0.071) .For making a judgment of treatment effectiveness by Judo therapist himself, it was considered that an evaluation of body sway with use of inexpensive or affordable Wii Fit board could be useful.要旨：現在，柔道整復師の業界団体は，本来の柔道整復のみならず様々な業種への参画を試みている．この際， 問題点の一つに柔道整復術の有用性を示す資料の提示を求められた際の対応がある． 多くの柔道整復師は，自身が行った柔道整復術の施療効果を客観的に判定していないのが現状であろうと思わ れる． そこで，我々は Wii Fit ボード(任天堂製)を用いて抽出した重心動揺の値とスポーツ バイオメカニクス， リハビリテーション，工学分野などで広く用いられているフォース プレート(キスラー社製)で抽出した値 との間に統計学的な有意差を認めるか否かの調査を行った． 被験者は大学生で，男性24名(平均年齢21.1歳±0.4)，女性22名(平均年齢20.2歳±2.6)の計46名である．Wii Fitボードで抽出された領域面積(1.76cm 2 ±0.93)ならびにフォース プレートで抽出された外周面積 (2.27cm 2 ±1.71)の値について対応のあるt検定を行った結果，両群間に有意な差は認められなかった(p=0.071)． 柔道整復師が自身の施療効果を判定するために安価なWii Fitボードを用いた重心動揺の評価は有用であると 考えられた． key words：Wii Fit Board, Force plate, Body sway, Judo therapy キーワード：Wii Fit ボード，フォース プレート，重心動揺，柔道整復術
