| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The sitting balance measurement device was developed.We evaluate function and accuracy as a balance measurement device. As a result, we had good intra-rater and inter-rater reliability. In 2020, we developed new software to improve the usability of device that can automatically perform measurement and analysis.In 2021, we developed a system using virtual reality (VR) equipment as a trunk balance training device.
In 2022, we conducted a preliminary trial using virtual reality (VR) equipment as a trunk balance training device for healthy individuals. We found that their balance ability improved after the training. We plan to specified clinical trials in the future.
