  In this study, the aim was to determine the effect of balance training using two different compliant surfaces (Sanddune® vs. AirEx® balance pad) on performance of One Leg Stance Test (OLST) (eyes open and eyes closed) and Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) in healthy young adults. A repeated-measures design was used. Forty subjects participated in this study. Twenty participants were in each group (Sanddune® group and AirEx® group). Subjects performed the OLST to determine static balance and the SEBT to determine dynamic balance. One group of participants performed balance exercises on the AirEx® balance pad over a 6-week period of time twice per week, and the second group of participants performed balance exercises on the Sanddune® over a 6-week period of time twice per week. ANOVA (repeat.. View More»
