Changes in postural stability induced by a ball-and-board game designed from a systems perspective
The amount of variability in postural oscillations evolved heterogeneously across participants, which suggests a broad exploration of different postural solutions and therefore an enhanced adaptability to balance perturbations. This adaptability was particularly evident in participants with higher performance, whose postural oscillations exhibited a less periodic, and thus more complex, variability structure. In conclusion, our game led to a postural reorganization that encourages us to test it in clinical settings.
