Several attempts have been made to use raw COP data from a customized WBB for balance assessment. Young et al.[ 19], demonstrated that customized WBB COP data could be used to assess changes in older adult balance following a specially designed, game-based intervention over four weeks. Before and after training, six elderly participants undertook a traditional balance test (i.e. Romberg Test) whereby they stood as still as possible on the WBB for two, 30 s trials - one with eyes open and one with eyes closed. The COP data collected showed anterior-posterior COP variability was positively reduced by the intervention, but only in more difficult trials where visual information was not available (i.e. eyes closed conditions). Increases in body sway for individuals with Autism[ 12] and Hearing Loss[ 37] have also been measured with custom WBB COP.

A shift of center of pressure (CoP) is an indirect measure of postural sway and thus a measure of a person’s ability to maintain balance. Though originally designed as a video game controller, the Balance Board has become a tool for assessing CoP which has proven to be both valid and reliable. Clark et al. performed a study to prove the validity and test-retest reliability of the use of a Balance Board. The reason to use a Balance Board instead of a force platform is the ability to "create a portable, inexpensive balance assessment system that has widespread availability." Four standing balance tasks were used in this study including a combination of double stance, single stance, eyes open, and eyes closed. Throughout these tests the center of pressure path length was measured and compared to data from an identical study on a laboratory-grade force platform. The study found Balance Board measurements to be reliable and consistently repeatable. [14] Use to improve balance [ edit ] The female Wii Fit trainer was revealed at the 2013 E3 convention to be a playable character in the 2014 video game Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Series director Masahiro Sakurai noted that while he expected that people would see no meaning behind the trainer's inclusion, he included her because of his perception of her uniqueness and to surprise people, [84] instead of doing so for "cheap novelty." [85] It was later revealed by Sakurai, in commemoration of the release of the trial version of Wii Fit U, [86] that the male trainer would also appear, albeit as an alternate character that shares the female's slot and characteristics. [87] [88] The Wii Fit Trainers were announced to return in the series' next installment Super Smash Bros. Ultimate alongside every fighter that has appeared in the series' history at the 2018 E3 convention. [89] Since October 2009 the new and improved Wii Fit Plus has been available from shops, expanding on the original Wii Fit with further customisation options and a slew of new exercises to find the fitness that fits to your needs.

It might be easy to just write Wii Fit off as a well-intentioned game that used a common index for its time, but even then, the game was inconsistent with what it considered to be a good and bad BMI. Polygon reviewed one play through where the player had a “healthy” BMI of 22.97 by the game’s and medical standards, but the game still suggested that the person try to lower it.
