Most studies analyzed the effectiveness according to diverse measures in patients with or without conditions at any age. The characteristics of suspension training are very specific and can increase instability and; therefore, enhance balance. The goal was to determine the effects of suspension training on balance by comparing it with instability training. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Design<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Two-arm, randomized trial. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> 44 young adults, aged 22.4\u00a0years old, with no musculoskeletal condition, took part. There were 2 interventions, suspension and instability training, designed with 12 sessions in 4\u00a0weeks. The primary outcome was the Y-Balance test. Other balance outcomes were the Emery and jumping sideways tests, and platform measures while standing. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Suspension and instability training were effective in enhancing balance in terms of the primary outcome, the Y-Balance test, with no between-group differences. Instability training enhanced the Emery test over suspension training (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.018), but the latter was more effective in the jumping sideways test (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.003). Neither of the training improved static balance measures. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Training with suspension devices is effective in enhancing dynamic balance, with similar improvements to instability training. Importantly, the magnitude of change and the frequency of responders to intervention in terms of motor coordination and keeping balance in unstable conditions appear to be sensitive to the type of training.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jsr.2023-0161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,22]],"date-time":"2024-01-22T18:06:45Z","timestamp":1705946805000},"page":"155-160","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Quasi-Randomized Clinical Trial to Compare the Effects of Suspension Versus Instability Training on Balance"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7663-9092","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jos\u00e9-Mar\u00eda","family":"Blasco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Group of Physiotherapy in the Aging Process: Social and Health Care Strategies, Department of Physiotherapy, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"IRIMED Joint Research Unit (IIS-LaFe\u2014UV), Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1712-2675","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Catalina","family":"Tolsada-Velasco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9936-5787","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Irene","family":"Borja-de-Fuentes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-4405-1424","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Elena","family":"Costa-Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2548-5417","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Carmen","family":"Garc\u00eda-Gom\u00e1riz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Group of Physiotherapy in the Aging Process: Social and Health Care Strategies, Department of Physiotherapy, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Nursing, University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4289-5688","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"David","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez-Guill\u00e9n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Group of Physiotherapy in the Aging Process: Social and Health Care Strategies, Department of Physiotherapy, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"key":"r1","series-title":"Front Sports Act Living","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/FSPOR.2022.1015394","article-title":"Perturbation-based balance training: principles, mechanisms and implementation in clinical practice","volume":"4","author":"McCrum C","year":"2022","unstructured":"McCrum C, Bhatt TS, Gerards MHG, et\u00a0al.
