A Postural Study Comparing Sitting on the Floor Versus Sitting in a Chair While Playing Video Games.
To determine if sitting in a chair or sitting on the floor lends itself to better posture
 while playing video games.
Upon completion of the parental consent form, each test subject will be instructed to flip a
 two-sided coin to determine the sitting position of the test subject. If the flip reveals a
 "heads", the child will be instructed to sit in a chair; chairs will be appropriately sized
 to allow the child to rest his/her feet on the ground. If the flip reveals a "tails", the
 child will be instructed to sit on a small carpet piece that measures 2-feet by 2-feet. Each
 test subject will be taken to their gaming station which will sit approximately 8 feet away
 from a 55-inch flat screen television that will be on a 30-inch table and handed a wireless
 controller. Two gaming stations will be available with one featuring the game Lego Batman and
 the other featuring Lego Indiana Jones with both gaming stations testing simultaneously. The
 test subjects will be told they can play for 5 minutes with a Physical Therapist at each
 station to monitor and record the test subjects' positioning.
