The experimental group receives the equipment consists of a balanced disc, a chest strap with an extended arm, a smartphone, and a chair. This smartphone was installed with the Compass Inclinometer pr
s feet cannot be on the floor, the researcher will use a step platform to support both feet. In order to avoid falling from the chair, the participants will be required to wear a belt around the wais
