Comparative effects of Wii Fit and unstable surface training on stability and postural control in young adults

Abstract
Objective: To compare the effects of Wii Fit balance training versus unstable surface training on improving balance and postural control in young adults.
Methodology: This Randomized Control Trial was conducted at Railway General Hospital, Rawalpindi from August 2018 to January 2019. Using non-probability convenience sampling, 35 participants were randomly assigned to either the Wii Fit or unstable surface balance training group. Both groups underwent 30 minute exercise sessions, three days/week for 6 weeks. The Wii Fit group received intervention on the Wii Fit, while the unstable surface balance training group used a trampoline and BOSU ball. Y Balance Test, Fullerton advanced balance test, somatosensory test, reactive postural control test, static center of pressure control, dynamic COP control, and balance age were assessed at baseline and the 6th week. Paired t-tests and independent sample t-tests were used for within and between group analysis.
Results: The unstable surface training enhanced the somatosensory test (p=0.037) and posteromedial stability (p=0.026) on the Y balance test, and balance age test results (p=0.010).
Conclusion: Wii Fit and unstable surface training were both effective in improving balance. However, unstable surface balance training significantly improved somatosensory balance and balance age.

Key words: Balance, balance assessment, postural control, young adults.
