Abstract
Provided is a balance training system for improving postural control of a user by providing visual feedback regarding the user's center of mass (CoM) to the user on a display. The balance training system includes a balance improvement module connected to the display, and a first sensor which captures information about a position of the user with respect to a platform of the balance training system on which platform the user is moving and which provides the captured information to the balance improvement module. The balance improvement module is configured to extract CoM information of the user from the captured information, to compare the extracted CoM information with a target area for the user's CoM on the platform, and to provide results of the comparison to the display for displaying the results to the user.
