Abstract

Embodiments of a balance device can include one, two or three of a medial-lateral curved track assembly, an anterior-posterior curved track assembly and a linear slide assembly. The balance device can be employed as part of a system further including, a camera-based motion tracking system communicably coupled to the balance device and a visual subsystem communicably coupled to the motion tracking system and operable to manipulate visual feedback to the user during operation of the balance device. Embodiments of a method according to the present disclosure include receiving measurements of a plurality of forces and a plurality of moments acting on a balance platform of a balance device, estimating a plurality of non-user force measurements and a plurality of non-user moment measurements caused by gravity and inertial accelerations, determining a compensation adjustment and implementing the compensation adjustment to the balance platform.
