Study Regarding a System for Evaluation of the Sportsmen’s Balance

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the possibility of using wireless peripherals for studying the motor skills, study which is necessary both for the athletes and people who have suffered an accident of locomotor system and are within the recovery period. For some athletes a very important aspect is the equal distribution of force on both legs and thus the maintaining a balance as close to perfection. Patients who have suffered musculoskeletal accidents can measure and monitor the progress during recovery, and if they have sequels after trauma suffered they can, using the peripherals presented in this paper, to learn more easily and quickly how to compensate these sequels in the aim to maintain a balance as good. In order to achieve the intended purpose was need to develop an application which retrieves the data from the Wii balance board, processes them and then to displays them on the screen, so that the user can interpret them and make then the necessary corrections. To develop this application it was used the LabVIEW software.
