Pulseiras de equilíbrio melhoram o equilíbrio estático? Do balance bracelets improve the static balance?

Introduction: The balance control aims to maintain the center of mass within the support base. Without evidence, the media suggests that wearing bracelets can increase the balance. Objective: To evaluate the effect of a balance bracelet of static balance of adults. Methods: A total of 12 healthy adults participated in this study. We used a Balance Bracelet (Power Balance
