Low-cost active video game console development for dynamic postural control training.

Weight shifting is a key ability to both train and monitor in rehabilitation processes. In the last decade, active video game consoles (AVGC) have been viewed as a promising and appealing way to facilitate weight shifting ability. However, to date, no commercially available AVGC have been specifically developed for balance and postural control throughout rehabilitation processes. The present study aims to establish a proof of concept about the possibility to integrate into a unique AVGC, a board, monitoring the player centre of pressure, and a Kinect, which takes into account the postural movement and player motor function capacity.
