  ABSTRACT: Purpose: The objective was to clarify the relationship with physical function, balance function, and walking function in frail and non-frail groups. Method: Physical function was measured using height, weight, BMI, SMI, grip strength, knee extension strength, and balance function using a standing power measurement device (Tanita Corporation, ZARITZ, BM-220). Walking function was measured using walking speed, thoracolumbar vertical movement, and foot lift angle. Results: Ground reaction force (speed), Walking Function (walking speed, Rea Foot Lift Angle) were significantly lower in the KCL score ≥ 8 group (frail group) compared to the KCL score ≤ 7 group (non-frail group) (p Conclusion: Balance function and gait function tests were useful for assessing frailty.
