We investigated the training effect of postural control for the elderly adults using a training system for postural control that we developed. 15 healthy elderly subjects were in the training group. 15 were as the control group. The training group participated in the training 3 times a week for 8 weeks in 1 hour sessions. To confirm the training effect, we measured relevant parameters such as the time of timed up and go test, and the sway path of center of pressure before and that after the training. The results showed that this training system could successfully improve the postural control capability of the elderly adults. Moreover, the significant improvement in the postural capability of the elderly subjects suggested that elderly subjects could benefit more from the training using the system for the improvement of the ability of postural control.
