Assessing and Improving Balance Using Platform Perturbations
- Conditions
- Balance
- Registration Number
- NCT01207362
- Lead Sponsor
- Kessler Foundation
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare current standing balance assessment methods to a new method that measures weight shift during small movements of a sliding platform. It will also be used to determine if balance improves with repeated exposure as part of a 4-week training program.
