AB  - [Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to compare the postural sway of 
      healthy adults standing on different types of balance pads. [Subjects and 
      Methods] Nine healthy adults participated in this study. Postural body sway was 
      measured while participants were standing on four different types of balance 
      pads: Balance-pad Elite (BE), Aero-Step XL (AS), Dynair Ballkissen Senso (DBS), 
      and Dynair Ballkissen XXL Meditation and Yoga (DBMY). A Wii Balance Board 
      interfaced with Balancia software was used to measure postural body sway. 
      [Results] In the sway velocity, sway path length, and sway area, no significant 
      differences were found between baseline conditions (participants were standing on 
      the floor with no balance pad) and the use of the BE or AS. However, significant 
      increases in all parameters were found comparing baseline conditions to the use 
      of either Dynair balance pad. Furthermore, the use of either Dynair balance pad 
      significantly increased postural sway compared to both the BE and the AS. 
      [Conclusion] These findings suggest that the DBS and DBMY balance pads may serve 
      as superior tools for providing unstable condition for balance training than the 
      BE and the AS balance pads.
