Background: Fall risk is one of the major problems in the older adults’ life due to the reduction of the balance level. A presence of a valid, cost effective and easy in use objective tool to measure the balance (static and dynamic) is very important. Purpose of this study is to test the validity of the use of Sway balance software in measuring the dynamic balance. Methods: Thirty healthy non-athletic subjects (8 females and 22 males; age= 23.9 ± 3.38 years and BMI= 22.53 ± 1.64 kg/m2) were… Expand

Validation of measures from the smartphone sway balance application: a pilot study.
TLDR
Results of this study are promising, as balance score derived from the Smartphone accelerometers were consistent with balance scores obtained from a previously validated balance system, however, further investigation is necessary as this version of the mobile software only assessed balance in the anterior/posterior direction.

Test-Retest Reliability of the SWAY Balance Mobile Application
Background: The SWAY Balance Mobile Application is an FDA-cleared balance testing system which uses the built-in tri-axial accelerometers of a mobile electronic device to objectively assess postural… Expand
Comparison of a Mobile Technology Application With the Balance Error Scoring System
TLDR
A strong inverse correlation was found between the scores for the two balance assessment methods, and advances in technology have provided an attractive means to objectively quantify postural balance with off-the-shelf mobile consumer electronic devices. Expand
EVALUATION OF POSTURAL BALANCE USING THE BIODEX BALANCE SYSTEM IN SUBJECTS WITH AND WITHOUT LOW BACK PAIN
TLDR
The findings of this study showed high reliability for BBS to evaluate dynamic postural balance in subjects with and without low back pain, and it seems that MLSI and OSI significantly differ between subjects withand without LBP. Expand
Effect of high-intensity strength-training on functional measures of balance ability in balance-impaired older adults.
TLDR
High-intensity strength training can safely and effectively strengthen lower extremity muscles in balance-impaired older adults, resulting in significant improvements in functional balance ability and decreased fall risk. Expand
Intrarater test-retest reliability of static and dynamic stability indexes measurement using the Biodex Stability System during unilateral stance.
TLDR
It is concluded that the postural stability assessment using Biodex stability system demonstrates good-to-excellent test-retest reliability over a 1 week time interval. Expand
Predicting falls within the elderly community: comparison of postural sway, reaction time, the Berg balance scale and the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale for comparing fallers and non-fallers.
TLDR
Results from the following study indicated that non-fallers have significantly faster reaction times, have higher scores on the Berg balance scale and the ABC scale as well as sway at slower frequencies when compared to fallers. Expand

TLDR
It is demonstrated that using the SOT protocol could differentiate elderly nonfallers from fallers for balance impairment, and caution should be used when interpreting information from the FR test in determining a balance-impaired population. Expand
