Objectives:
This study aimed to examine the impact of mental stress on balance systems in healthy adults.
Study population \& Sample size:
Participants were delimited to 178 students that enter oral and practical exams at different levels in Faculty of Physical Therapy, KafrEl-Sheikh University.

Study Design :
it is a controlled trial.
Methods :
After obtaining the consent form, and demographics. The mobile application was opened, and a new experiment was created. Abdominal support was modified so it contains a pocket in its centre so the mobile can fit onto it. Participants were asked to conduct a mini-SITCIB test before and after the exam in experimental group and before and after 30 min in control group. The data was extracted and stored anonymously on the hard drive as CSV files.
- Detailed Description
Mental health is a critical but often overlooked aspect of overall health. Research has shown that mental stress can have detrimental effects on physical health, including balance impairments, in healthy adults. Balance is a crucial physiological function that impacts daily activities and quality of life. Imbalance due to mental stress can increase the risk of falls, injuries, and other health issues, particularly in the aging population.
