Abstract (EN): A balance board can be a useful tool for increasing stability and balance, which is advantageous for a variety of users, including athletes, elderly people, people recovering from injuries or neurodegenerative diseases, and stroke patients. The majority of these balance boards typically comprise a simple board or platform on a pivot point, without providing any feedback data to the user. The instrumentation of these boards can enlarge the applicability of these boards by providing a way to record user performance and visualize the execution of the exercises with the board. This work will offer a demo to present the prototype of a balance board that was instrumented with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and microcontroller to provide orientation data. The developed application software allows storing historic data and provides visual and acoustic feedback. This portable prototype is built on top of a commercially available balance board and the user interface runs on a web- based application. © 2023 IEEE.
