The effect of visual feedback on the relative weight distribution while standing was studied in two patients with balance problems. An ABAB single case experimental design was used. During the A phase, EMG biofeedback for the arm was given while the patient was sitting. During the B phase, visual feedback of the weight distribution was used as a means of improving balance reactions. The Rivermead assessment revealed no change in overall motor performance in either patient. There was, however, a marked improvement in balance and in some characteristics of the walking pattern during the experimental (B) phase. This effect was sustained over time.
