Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Smartphone Application (SPSRS)
Participants watch motion picture using an application that displays positive-word stimuli.
Device: Smartphone Application (SPSRS)

Participants use application on iPhone and watch videos showing positive-word stimuli. This application repeats positive-word stimuli every 5 seconds.

The participants watch 3-minute motion picture displaying positive-word stimuli.


Active Comparator: Smartphone Application (YouTube)
Participants will watch the same motion picture as the experimental group. However, a positive-word stimulus does not appear in the motion picture.
Device: Smartphone Application (YouTube)
Participants will watch the same motion picture as the experimental group. However, a positive-word stimulus does not appear in the motion picture.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Multi-Directional Reach Test [ Time Frame: Baseline and immediately after the intervention protocol ]
    The limits of stability during multi-direction reach operation in standing position
