Impacts of High-Resolution and High-Cut Music Box Audio on Balance.

Objective: The present investigation was designed to examine if high-resolution music box audio influences postural stability. Design: A clinical study. Materials and Methods: 21 healthy young adults were instrumented for the measurement of stabilometry (Twin Gravicorder G-5500, Anima Co. Ltd.). They were exposed to high-resolution music box audio. Results: Total locus length of both leg stand with eye open significantly decreased with exposure of high-resolution music box audio (p = 0.034). Total locus length of both leg stand decreased with exposure of high-resolution music box audio than that of high-cut music box audio (p = 0.316). Conclusions: Our study suggests that high-resolution music box audio improved balance ability and that high-resolution music box audio reduces the incidence of falls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
