[Purpose] To investigate the correlation between joint position sense (JPS) during hip abduction and static/dynamic balance abilities. [Method] The study enrolled 22 healthy college undergraduates and a smartphone application known as Clinometer was used to measure JPS during hip abduction using the passive setting/active reproduction. Balance ability was measured at levels 12, 7, and 3 of the Biodex Balance System. The JPS error during hip abduction was correlated with balance ability in relation to sway level. [Results] Error in JPS during hip abduction was moderately correlated with all balance scores at all sway levels (r≥0.38, p≤0.04 for all), except for the anterior-posterior balance at levels 12 and 3 (r≤0.24, p≥0.30 for both). [Conclusion] A significant correlation existed between JPS during hip abduction and balance ability, regardless of sway level. Therefore, adequate sensory training of the hip joint is needed during balance training.
