Balance Assessment In Fall-Prevention Oriented Exergames

To assess the success of fall-prevention oriented exergames two digital games were developed taking advantage of the Wii Balance Board (WBB) capabilities. The objective was to evaluate the exergames' potential to address elderly adults' declining motivation to exercise regularly despite the benefits related to fall-prevention. The system uses the WBB to keep track of the player's center of pressure and computes important balance assessment measures related to it to eventually provide a mean to monitor their patients. The presented demo will feature the two exergames.
