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…

It is confirmed that performing cognitively demanding tasks significantly reduced the ability to keep balance in less stable conditions, and these findings have significant implications in understanding and preventing falls and incidents resulting from an impaired balance in complex and Cognitively demanding conditions.

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.

Results indicate that SWAY provides excellent overall reliability, however, it may be appropriate to have subjects perform a familiarization trial at the beginning of each testing session, as well as demonstrate a ceiling effect when assessing balance improvements in those who already demonstrate good balance.

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.
