Conditions
Brief summary
Balance disorders are sometimes treated with exercises performed on unbalanced surfaces. The BOBO system allows connection of a standing platform attached to any of these surfaces, to a screen, where the user can control games with his or her body movements. In this study, the lower limb muscle activity of healthy individuals will be monitored during different games in order to assert the the ability of each game in strengthening certain muscle groups.
Detailed description
Healthy subject will fill out a demographic questionnaire following the exercise they will fill out a subjective questionnaire for assessment of the exercise. Each subject will play 4 games using the BOBO while surface electrodes are placed on the gluteus max/medius, quadriceps, hamstring, peroneal ,tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius.
