自2010年以来，人们对用于平衡和姿势评估的更便携、更灵活的硬件越来越感兴趣，这导致之前发表的研究确定Wii平衡板是否可以用于科学和临床评估平衡和姿势。然而，以前没有研究旨在比较不同Wii平衡板的临床平衡评估结果。这项交叉研究的目的是评估Wii平衡板的可重复性。共有6名受试者参与了这项研究，他们的平衡使用4种不同的Wii平衡板进行评估。试验同时记录了Wii平衡板和实验室测力板。九个相关的临床参数来自Wii平衡板和测力板系统获得的压力位移中心数据。计算组内相关系数（ICC）、F检验和Friedman检验，以评估试验之间的一致性，并比较Wii平衡板和测力板的结果。Wii平衡板和测力板之间存在良好的相关性（平均ρ = 0.83）。除2个参数外，其余7个参数（ICC=.96）的一致性均为强至极好。使用不同Wii平衡板记录的试验之间没有显着差异。我们的研究结果表明，对于分析的大多数参数，用一个Wii平衡板评估的平衡和姿势与从另一个获得的结果在统计学上相似。此外，Wii平衡板和测力板结果之间的良好相关性表明，Wii平衡板可以可靠地用于使用本研究中分析的大多数参数进行科学评估。这些结果还表明，Wii平衡板可用于多中心研究，因此，将允许创建更大的临床研究人群。Erasme医院伦理委员会（CCB B406201215142）。
Since 2010, an increasing interest in more portable and flexible hardware for balance and posture assessment led to previously published studies determining whether or not the Wii Balance Board could be used to assess balance and posture, both scientifically and clinically. However, no previous studies aimed at comparing results from different Wii Balance Boards for clinical balance evaluation exist. The objective of this crossover study is to assess the interchangeability of the Wii Balance Board. A total of 6 subjects participated in the study and their balance was assessed using 4 different Wii Balance Boards. Trials were recorded simultaneously with Wii Balance Boards and with a laboratory force plate. Nine relevant clinical parameters were derived from center of pressure displacement data obtained from Wii Balance Board and force plate systems. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), F tests, and Friedman tests were computed to assess the agreement between trials and to compare the Wii Balance Board and force plate results. Excellent correlations were found between the Wii Balance Board and force plate (mean ρ =.83). With the exception of 2 parameters, strong to excellent agreements were found for the 7 remaining parameters (ICC=.96). No significant differences were found between trials recorded with different Wii Balance Boards. Our results indicate that for most of the parameters analyzed, balance and posture assessed with one Wii Balance Board were statistically similar to results obtained from another. Furthermore, the good correlation between the Wii Balance Board and force plate results shows that Wii Balance Boards can be reliably used for scientific assessment using most of the parameters analyzed in this study. These results also suggest that the Wii Balance Board could be used in multicenter studies and therefore, would allow for the creation of larger populations for clinical studies.
