Feasibility and Concurrent Validity of Pediatric Performance-Based Postural Control Subtests Using a Pressure-Sensitive Exergaming Device: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: Postural control deficits are common among children with and without disabilities. Performance-based postural control tests provide both quantitative and qualitative insights into the severity of these deficits but are underutilized in clinical practice. Digitizing existing postural control tests could increase their overall implementation. # Purpose This study examined the feasibility and validity of 'Matti', a pressure-sensitive device, as a tool for recording simple continuous data for two performance-based postural control subtests: the time in seconds during the One-Board Balance Test (OBBT) and the number of jumps during the Lateral Jump Test (LJT), in typically developing children. # Study Design Cross-sectional study # Methods Both conventional and digitized versions of both the OB
