The portable Sway mobile application is a valid tool to measure balance when compared with a gold standard and is sensitive to change following foot mobilisation
Sway App results mirrored those of the SMART EquiTest system both before and after a foot mobilisation intervention demonstrating Sway App validity and sensitivity to change in the healthy population. Given demonstrated sensitivity to change, further work may now be done to determine if Sway App results can be extended to the clinical setting.
