Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Traditional methods to assess postural control favour forms of balance training over exergaming. • Heterogeneity remains high among exergaming interventions. • The diversity of technology-based methods used to assess postural control prevents the large-scale generalisation of study results. • Limitations in outcome measures for higher-functioning older adults prevent an understanding of the full effect of exergaming interventions on postural control.
