The latest researches adopted software technology turning the Nintendo Wii Balance Board into a high performance change ofstanding posture (CSP) detector, and assessed whether two persons with multiple disabilities would be able to controlenvironmental stimulation using body swing (changing standing posture). This study extends Wii Balance Board functionality for standing posture correction (i.e., actively adjust abnormal standing posture) to assessed whether two persons with multipledisabilities would be able to actively correct their standing posture by controlling their favorite stimulation on/off using a WiiBalance Board with a newly developed standing posture correcting program (SPCP). The study was performed according to an ABAB design, in which A represented baseline and B represented intervention phases. Data showed that both participants significantly increased time duration of maintaining correct standing posture (TDMCSP) to activate the control system to produce environmental stimulation during the intervention phases. Practical and developmental implications of the findings were discussed.
