Effects of Visual Feedback Arrangement on Ballet Balance Training

Providing real-time visual feedback during standing balance training has been shown to enhance balance ability. For example, displaying images of the trainee’s body or center-of-pressure (COP) trajectories while maintaining a standing posture facilitates the detection of postural sway, th...

description Providing real-time visual feedback during standing balance training has been shown to enhance balance ability. For example, displaying images of the trainee’s body or center-of-pressure (COP) trajectories while maintaining a standing posture facilitates the detection of postural sway, thereby improving balance. However, it remains unclear whether the spatial arrangement of such visual feedback influences the degree of balance improvement. Therefore, this study examined whether varying the display configuration of identical visual feedback affects balance enhancement. Specifically, we employed two fundamental ballet movements, “relevé” and “plié,” to investigate how different arrangements of body images and COP trajectories influence balance. Experimental results revealed that: (1) when a single visual feedback element was provided, placing it at eye level in front led to greater improvements in balance, and (2) when two visual feedback elements were presented simultaneously, arranging them side by side or overlapping yielded better balance outcomes. These findings highlight the significance of considering visual feedback arrangement to optimize balance enhancement.
