A device for balance training and assessing dynamic balance by measuring a subject's ability to react to perturbations. A universal joint assembly is translated at the base of a support plate while a top plate on which the subject stands is fixed against translation. The universal joint permits the attached top plate to rotate about at least one and preferably multiple axes, and the subject must control balance following the translation of the universal joint. All components are housed in a one-piece platform assembly, made up of two plates in which the components are mounted. An existing force plate measurement system is placed on the top plate, and the subject stands thereon during use. A virtual environment, by image-creating devices, may be used to create a realistic sensation of tripping and general postural instability, or shifting of the support surface.

A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for dynamically balancing call loads among call center resources when a call load reaches a threshold. Responsive to receiving an incoming call at a call center, a target call center resource group is determined to handle the incoming call. A determination is then made as to whether a call load of the target call center resource group is above a threshold. If the call load is above the threshold, the least utilized call center resources in the call center are located. The resources in the least utilized call center resources which have a same skill set of the target call center resources are then identified. The identified resources are then assigned to the target call center resource group.
