[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the concurrent validity of Wii Fit center-of-pressure parameters with Clinical Test of Sensory Integration for Balance and to evaluate the discriminant validity of the Wii Fit center-of-pressure parameters for adults and the elderly for the assessment of postural sway. [Participants and Methods] This study used an observational cross-sectional correlational design. All 70 participants were required to complete a questionnaire for eligibility screening, followed by a center-of-pressure assessment using three Wii Fit balance activities (snowboard slalom, ski slalom, and balance bubble) and Clinical Test of Sensory Integration for Balance using a force platform. [Results] For center-of-pressure assessment, our results showed there was concurrent validity of Wii Fit ski slalom and balance bubble with Clinical Test of Sensory Integration for Balance conditions 6 and 4, respectively. Our results also demonstrated that the three Wii Fit balance activities selected in this study could be used to discriminate between adults and the elderly. [Conclusion] Our results suggest that Wii Fit is a viable and affordable alternative method for center-of-pressure assessment.
[目的] 本研究旨在确定Wii Fit压力中心参数与平衡感觉统合临床测试的同时效度，并评估Wii Fit压力中心参数对成年人和老年人姿势摆动评估的判别效度。[参与者与方法] 本研究采用观察性横断面相关设计。所有70名参与者都需要完成一份资格筛选问卷，随后使用三项Wii Fit平衡活动（单板滑雪回转、双板滑雪回转和平衡气泡）进行压力中心评估，并使用测力平台进行平衡感觉统合临床测试。[结果] 对于压力中心评估，我们的结果表明，Wii Fit双板滑雪回转和平衡气泡分别与平衡感觉统合临床测试条件6和4具有同时效度。我们的结果还表明，本研究中选择的三项Wii Fit平衡活动可用于区分成年人和老年人。[结论] 我们的结果表明，Wii Fit是一种可行且经济实惠的压力中心评估替代方法。
