Interventions/Control_1

Control Group
After maintaining a quiet standing posture for 30 seconds, participants perform a lateral weight-shifting task at 0.5 Hz for 30 seconds, followed by another 30 seconds of quiet standing. This sequence is considered one set and is repeated three times.Unstable Platform Group
Participants stand with their dominant foot on an unstable platform and their non-dominant foot on a platform of equal height (Figure 2). Following the same protocol as the control group, they maintain a quiet standing posture for 30 seconds, perform a lateral weight-shifting task at 0.5 Hz for 30 seconds, and then return to quiet standing for another 30 seconds. This sequence is repeated three times.

Interventions/Control_2

Unstable board Group
Participants stand with their dominant foot on an unstable platform and their non-dominant foot on a platform of equal height (Figure 2). Following the same protocol as the control group, they maintain a quiet standing posture for 30 seconds, perform a lateral weight-shifting task at 0.5 Hz for 30 seconds, and then return to quiet standing for another 30 seconds. This sequence is repeated three times.

Interventions/Control_3

Unstable board + TENS Group (Combined Group)
Participants follow the same protocol as the other groups: 30 seconds of quiet standing, 30 seconds of lateral weight shifting at 0.5 Hz, and another 30 seconds of quiet standing, repeated for three sets. However, during the task, TENS stimulation is applied to the left sternocleidomastoid muscle (Figure 3). The TENS parameters are set to a frequency of 100 Hz, a pulse width of 200 microseconds, and an intensity above the sensory threshold but below the motor threshold.
