An initial set of reference values for the Balance Tracking System (BTrackS) Limits of Stability protocol.

Background: The Balance Tracking System (BTrackS) Limits of Stability (LOS) protocol is a relatively new means of evaluating unconstrained dynamic postural control ability. While the reliability of this protocol has previously been established, reference data is currently unavailable to assist in the interpretation of results.

Research Question: What are typical reference values for the BTrackS LOS protocol with respect to sex, height, and BMI?

Methods: A cross= -section of 800 healthy, young adults (aged 18-29 years; 368 men, 432 women) were administered the BTrackS LOS protocol.

Six Weeks of at Home BTrackS Target Tracking Training Induces Sustained Dynamic Balance Improvement in Healthy Young Adults.

Purpose: The Balance Tracking System's Target Tracking Training protocol requires an individual to keep an onscreen dot within a moving target circle via leaning movements that are sensed by a Balance Tracking System's balance plate. The present study sought to determine for the first time if short duration at-home training using Balance Tracking System's Target Tracking Training could improve dynamic balance.

Methods: Fifteen healthy young adults (mean age = 22.

Lower Limb Asymmetry Evaluation Using the Balance Tracking System (BTrackS) Single Leg Stance Protocol.

Single Leg Stance (SLS) balance testing is a common means of determining lower limb asymmetries in motor behavior. The Balance Tracking System (BTrackS) Balance Plate is a low-cost, portable force plate for objectively obtaining balance measurements. The present study provides the first known balance results for the BTrackS SLS protocol.

Test-Retest Reliability of the Balance Tracking System Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance Protocol Across Multiple Time Durations.

Background: Postural control is critical for body sway control and is subserved by three sources of sensory feedback (ie, vision, proprioception and vestibulation). A method for determining the relative contribution of each sensory feedback source to postural control is the modified clinical test of sensory integration and balance for the balance tracking system (BTrackS). However, this method has not yet been evaluated for test-retest reliability.
