Impaired postural control may cause disadvantageous effects on one’s functional ability and raise their risk of falling. In this study, we apply the Kinect sensor, the Wii-Fit balance board and a seesaw board to build postural-suprapostural dual task training environment, allowing subjects to play batting ball game for improving their ability of postural control. Fifteen healthy adults (age: 24 ± 3 years) without any history of neurological disease were recruited in this study. All participants were instructed to perform the postural -suprapostural dual task training by playing six rounds of batting ball game on a seesaw board. Subjects were tested on a Wii-Fit balanced board while performing two-leg stance, one-leg stance, and airpillow stance for sixty seconds before and after the postural-suprapostural dual task training. Root mean square of center of pressure in the medial-lateral plane was computed to assess postural control. Our results indicated the postural-suprapostural dual task batting ball training game facilitate postural control improvements (p < 0.01).
