Introduction: The Wii Balance Board (WBB) is a commonly used tool for balance assessment, however the inconsistency in the reported validity for the WBB when used for the assessment of healthy young adults needs to be clarified.
Aim: To investigate the concurrent validity and reliability of the WBB for balance assessment in healthy young adults.
Methods: Thirty-two young adults participated in this study.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of audio-visual cues (simulated traffic light) on dual task walking in older adults, both healthy and with balance impairments.
- Participants included 14 healthy older adults and 14 with balance issues, who underwent walking tests under different conditions to measure their performance.
- Results indicated a significant improvement in walking speed with the audio-visual cue, but no notable changes in stride length or cadence between groups or conditions.
