However, most of current researches probe into the effects of games on balance training with the direct application of ready-made business balance games. It is still unclear about how to design balance games and whether different game mechanisms affect balance abilities, and researches regarding the above-mentioned issues are inadequate as well. The study probed into measurement methods for dynamic balance abilities, and designed three balance games showing one''s balance abilities: “catch the fruit,” “shun obstacles,” and “hit bricks.” Four experiments were made by the circular development procedure of prototyping. Each experiment was reviewed for improvement upon the completion of each stage to make the system perfect step by step. The results of the experiments show that when a balance game is designed, if it can predict the moving track of a controlled object, and make sure the moving of one''s center of body weight is regular, and that the game is not too difficult, it will more effectively show the dynamic balance ability of the player.
