Abstract

|
|
Purpose : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on the static balance ability according to vestibular training using ball.
Methods : Twenty normal subjects participated and were randomly assigned to either a vestibular training group using ball or a control group. The vestibular training using a ball group exercised 3 times per week over 3 weeks. The static balance was assessed by the center of pressure to the stance position. The participants stood barefoot on a force platform in a normal stance and a one-legged stance with a visual close.
Results : In the normal stance, there were no significant differences at CoP surface and CoP speed. However, in a onelegged stance, there were significant differences in the vestibular training group between before and after the program. There was also a significant difference between the vestibular training group and the control group.
Conclusion : Vestibular training using ball can be implemented as a therapeutic intervention to improve static balance ability in health adults.
