Closing the gap while standing still: clinimetric properties of a low-cost balance platform and a user-friendly app for posturography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Wii Balance Board (WBB) is used as a rehabilitation tool for balance or strength interventions and posturography in balance tasks. Nonetheless, implementation of posturography using the WBB in a clinical setting is hampered by required technical skills for signal processing to obtain meaningful balance measures. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of a WBB to measure center of pressure (COP) parameters and to provide an easy-to-use web application to improve implementation of posturography in clinical practice.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was carried out including 30 healthy adults who performed repeated balance tasks including single and double leg standing still with eyes open or eyes closed. A WBB o
