DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Smartphone "MyAnkle" balance application

Balance will be assessed simultaneously using "MyAnkle" application and the Biodex balance system. The smartphone will be fixed to the middle of the shin with an armband. Participants will assume a single leg stance on each side under two conditions: eyes opened and closed. Testing will be done at three levels of difficulty; least difficult (level 8), moderate (level 6) and severe difficult (level 4). A conditioning trial for each level will be given for 30 seconds. Further, a 2-minute rest between tests will be given. During the testing, participants should not touch the ground or stance limb by other limb nor to grasp the handrail. Participants will repeat the same testing in two separate sessions, with one-week interval in between.
