Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of virtual binaural audio on static and dynamic balance in healthy young adults. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight healthy individuals between the ages of 18 and 65 participated in this study. Data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Berg Balance Scale, the Flamingo Balance Test, and the Y Balance Test (YBT). Both the Flamingo Balance Test and YBT were applied to all participants in the absence and presence of binaural audio. Results: The Flamingo Balance Test results of the participants in the presence of sound were found to be significantly better than those in the absence of sound. Their YBT results were also significantly improved in the presence of sound. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that binaural audio may change the static and dynamic balance in healthy young adults.
