“…In this case, the foam properties influence postural sway, being their specifications relevant for the reproducibility of results and for the comparison between studies. Domènech-Vadillo et al 11 used a 50 × 40 × 14 cm (width × length × thickness) 40 kg/ m3 (density) foam. Global balance score was found to be influenced by height, age, and center of pressure, and it increases as height and age decrease, which means that postural control is worse in taller and elder individuals.…”

“…Redfern et al 10 used the same design casecontrol to study 78 patients, 25 men and 53 women, contradicting such instability when an unstable platform and closed eyes were combined. Domènech-Vadillo et al 11 concluded a cross-sectional validation study for the assessment of postural control via Nintendo® Wii posturography. A total of 350 (198 women), aged between 18 and 68 years (average 37.38), were tested under four conditions that combined stable surface, unstable surface, open eyes, and closed eyes.…”

Background: Posturography objectively assesses the central management of integrated peripheral sensory information (visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive) and the sensorimotor response required for balance. Recently published articles show the peculiarity of the currently available posturography devices and the variety of postural responses found. Aim: The goal of this integrative review is to analyze the confluence between the outcomes of different studies involving adults and elderly patients with no instability complaints evaluated at posturography. Methods: Of the 39 articles evaluated for eligibility, 9 articles met the criteria of this literature review. All studies included elderly patients (≥65 years). The posturography devices used were: NeuroCom®, Nintendo® Wii, and Bertec®. Results: The objective data provided by posturography differ as regards the calculation of the oscillatory trajectory and the tests performed. Postural instability was significant under different conditions among the articles. Conclusion: The final outcome analysis of the different studies showed that age and healthy aging result in modifications in posturography. Keywords: posturography, healthy aging, postural balance

“…La Wii Balance Board (WBB) de Nintendo ® es una plataforma de fuerza de la que se han realizado varios estudios que la validan como plataforma de posturografía estática [13,14], reafirmándose el concepto de que para una buena rehabilitación vestibular no se precisan dispositivos costosos. Incluso se ha creado una plataforma web SeeSway [15] que cruza y analiza datos de posturografía obtenidos desde diferentes plataformas o sistemas de captura de movimiento.…”

La realidad virtual sería su máxima expresión. Explicaremos los fundamentos básicos que se aplican en estas tecnologías, las cuales poseen muchos elementos en común con la organización de nuestro sentido del equilibrio. Método: Revisión narrativa. Resultados: Expondremos las características técnicas y los mecanismos de compensación aplicados en los dispositivos de rehabilitación vestibular. Discusión: Revisaremos algunos estudios que analizan las ventajas e inconvenientes de la realidad virtual frente a la terapia física convencional. Conclusiones: Los sistemas de seguimiento ocular, postural o de giro cefálico aplicados a la realidad virtual, pueden emplearse en el desarrollo de dispositivos diagnósticos o de rehabilitación vestibular. Se necesitas más estudios que comparen su eficacia respecto a la terapia física tradicional. PALABRAS CLAVE: realidad virtual; movimientos oculares; movimientos cefálicos; pruebas vestibulares; trastornos vestibulares.

“…However, their limitations include dependence on subjective aspects related to the evaluator, such as experience in their administration and the possible interpretation of the results [9]. On the contrary, instrumental systems, including posturography, are the reference systems for assessing balance due to their high degree of precision and reliability [10]. However, these systems are expensive, not very portable and require specialized technical experience, which makes their implementation in clinical practice difficult [11].…”

Balance disturbances in people with lived experience of stroke affect activities of daily living and social participation, so assessing them is essential to know the level of functional independence. Accelerometers are electronic devices that allow kinematic variables of balance to be recorded and are a tool of great interest in the assessment of functional balance. To determine the validity and reliability of, as well as the most performed protocols using accelerometers in the functional assessment of balance in people with experience of stroke, a systematic search of articles published in the electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, the Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, the PEDro and the Virtual Health Library from Spain was performed following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) guidelines. We used QUADAS-2 to assess the quality of the included studies. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria, two studied reliability and validity, two studied reliability and four studied the validity of accelerometers in the assessment of balance in people with stroke. All studies indicated the kind of accelerometer, localization on the body, tests and outcome variables. The results indicate that accelerometers show excellent reliability values in the assessment of balance in people who had a prior stroke and disparate results in terms of validity. Triaxial accelerometers were most used, and the 4th and 5th lumbar and 1st and 2nd sacral vertebrae were the body areas most used for their placement.
