  Objective: After traumatic brain injury (TBI), postural instability often results. This can effect ambulation and, subsequently, activities of daily living. Various forms of rehabilitation have been developed, but few offer engaging activities that provide informative dynamic balance training. The goal of this pilot study was to build a goal-based system that provided visual biofeedback to create an enriched environment for dynamic postural rehabilitation. The study aimed to determine if visual biofeedback had an effect on posture and balance during training for healthy participants; as well as determine the optimal man-machine visual-biofeedback interface. Method: A modified elliptical trainer was developed that incorporated visual-biofeedback from measured left and right lower extremity loads. Four visual displays were constructed and test..
