Objective To evaluate the feasibility and the effectiveness of biofeedback-based training of balance and or mobility in older adults. Data Sources PubMed 1950-2009 EMBASE 1988-2009 Web of Science 1945-2009 the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register 1960-2009 CINAHL 1982-2009 and PsycINFO 1840-2009 . The search strategy was composed of terms referring to biofeedback balance or mobility and older adults. Additional studies were identified by scanning reference lists. Study Selection For evaluating effectiveness 2 reviewers independently screened papers and included controlled studies in older adults . mean age equal to or greater than 60 years if they applied biofeedback during repeated practice sessions and if they used at least one objective outcome measure of a balance or mobility task. Data Extraction Rating of study quality with use of the Physiotherapy Evidence Database rating scale PEDro scale was performed independently by the 2 reviewers. Indications for non effectiveness were identified if 2 or more similar studies reported a non significant effect for the same type of outcome. Effect sizes were calculated. Results and Conclusions Although most available studies did not systematically evaluate feasibility aspects reports of high participation rates low drop-out rates absence of adverse events and positive training experiences suggest that biofeedback methods can be applied in older adults. Effectiveness was evaluated based on 21 studies .
