The effects of visual feedback exercises on balance was studied in normal individuals, to evaluate the efficacy of visual feedback of postural oscillation in improving stability. A DINAS-CAN dynamometric platform designed by the Valencian Institute of Biomechanics (IBv) was used. Before to commencing training sessions, we determined the following parameters in each individual: (a) static stability, via posturography; and (b) individual ability to displace and voluntarily maintain the center of gravity within the limits of stability. All static measures were poorer after training, but the differences were not significant (p > 0.01). In contrast, the exercises performed via visual feedback of postural control improved significantly (p < 0.01). Training by visual feedback facilitates integration of visual, somatosensory, and vestibular information. In normal individuals, stability improves under excentric conditions, but no improvement is seen in the central resting position.
