DEVICE

Sensor-based Balance Training

10 sessions of sensor-based balance training with exergaming feedback. For this training an adaptive integrated audio-visual feedback system composed of five IMUs and a force platform connected wirelessly to a computer has been used. The training protocol include exercises of balance control, encompassing a total of five distinct exercises: i) Latero-lateral load shifting while seated; ii) Load shifting while standing: latero-lateral and antero-posterior, to simulate the balance control performed during the day; iii) Load control during sit-to-stand; iv) Gait swing and loading phase response: to stimulate a correct load shifting during the swing and stance phase; v) Latero-lateral load shifting with knee flexion.

OTHER

Usual Balance Trainging

10 sessions of usual balance training. The training includes: gait control exercises, weight shifting, and relies on both stable surfaces (i.e., steps) and unstable surfaces (i.e., oscillating platforms and various-sized fitballs). The protocol encompassed the application of stabilization techniques and the reaching of targets with the upper limb during upright position emulating the activity of daily living.
