Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Postural control deficits are prevalent in children, impacting function.
  • Performance-based tests offer insights but are underutilized clinically.
  • Digitizing these tests can improve implementation and data collection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and validity of the 'Matti' pressure-sensitive device for digitizing postural control tests.
  • To evaluate the Matti device's performance in recording data for the One-Board Balance Test (OBBT) and Lateral Jump Test (LJT).
  • To compare digital test outcomes with conventional methods and assess children's enjoyment.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 46 typically developing children.
  • Conventional and digitized versions of the OBBT and LJT were administered.
  • Concurrent validity and agreement were assessed using correlation analyses and Bland-Altman plots.
  • Participant enjoyment was measured using a Smiley-o-Meter.

Main Results:

  • Digitized testing demonstrated strong correlations between digital and observer scores for both OBBT (rs=.991) and LJT (r=.962).
  • Significant differences were observed between conventional and digitized test conditions.
  • Children reported significantly higher enjoyment during digital testing (p = 0.011).

Conclusions:

  • The Matti device is feasible for simple, digitized performance-based postural control testing in children.
  • Lack of concurrent validity with conventional tests necessitates further research.
  • Digital testing's higher perceived enjoyment suggests potential for pediatric assessment and rehabilitation.
