[Purpose] This study aimed to assess the effect of a virtual reality exercise program
accompanied by cognitive tasks on the balance and gait of stroke patients. [Subjects]
Twenty stroke patients were randomly assigned to two groups 10 to an experimental group
that performed a virtual reality exercise program accompanied by cognitive tasks and 10 to
a control group. The control group performed a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
exercise program. Balance was measured with the Berg Balance Scale. Gait was assessed
using the Timed Up and Go Test. The paired t-test was used to compare groups before and
after the experiment. The independent t-test was conducted to assess differences in the
degree of change between the two groups before and after the experiment. [Results]
Within-group comparison in the experimental group showed significant differences in the
Berg Balance Scale and Timed Up and Go Test. In a comparison between groups, the
differences in the Berg Balance Scale and Timed Up and Go Test in the experimental group
appeared significant compared with the control group. [Conclusion] The results of the
experiment indicate that a virtual reality exercise program accompanied by cognitive tasks
has a positive effect on the balance and gait of stroke patients.Key words: Virtual reality exercise program accompanied by cognitive tasks, Balance, Gait 相似文献

[Purpose] To investigate the effect of coordination movement using the Proprioceptive
Neuromuscular Facilitation pattern underwater on the balance and gait of stroke patients.
[Subjects and Methods] Twenty stroke patients were randomly assigned to an experimental
group that performed coordination movement using the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular
Facilitation pattern underwater and a control group (n =10 each). Both the groups
underwent neurodevelopmental treatment, and the experimental group performed coordination
movement using the Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern underwater. Balance
was measured using the Berg Balance Scale and Functional Reach Test, and gait was measured
using the 10-Meter Walk Test and Timed Up and Go Test. To compare in-group data before and
after the intervention, paired t-test was used. Independent t-test was used to compare
differences in the results of the Berg Balance Scale, Functional Reach Test, 10-Meter Walk
Test, and Timed Up and Go Test before and after the intervention between the groups.
[Results] Comparison within the groups showed significant differences in the results of
the Berg Balance Scale, Functional Reach Test, 10-Meter Walk Test, and Timed Up and Go
Test before and after the experimental intervention. On comparison between the groups,
there were greater improvements in the scores of the Berg Balance Scale, Functional Reach
Test, 10-Meter Walk Test, and Timed Up and Go Test in the experimental group. [Conclusion]
The findings demonstrate that coordination movement using the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular
Facilitation pattern under water has a significant effect on the balance and gait of
stroke patients.Key words: Coordination movement using the PNF pattern, Balance, Gait 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To describe the frequency of falls; to relate capacity-based and self-efficacy measures to fall history; and to determine to what extent capacity-based and self-efficacy measures are explained by subject characteristics and stroke impairments. DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SETTING: Community. PARTICIPANTS: Convenience sample of 50 people with chronic stroke. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Fall history, Falls Efficacy Scale-Swedish Version, fear of falling, and the mood subscore of the Stroke Impact Scale. Balance, strength, and functional mobility were measured using the Berg Balance Scale, timed sit to stand, and Timed Up & Go, respectively. RESULTS: Falls were reported by 40% (n=20) of subjects; 22% (n=11) reported multiple falls. Subjects with fall history had more fear of falling (relative risk [RR], 2.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-4.9), had less falls-related self-efficacy (P=.04), and more depressive symptoms (P=.02) than nonfallers. Subjects with multiple fall history had poorer balance (P=.02), more fear of falling (RR=5.6; 95% CI, 1.3-23), and used a greater number of medications (P=.04) than non- and 1-time fallers. Strength partially explained balance, mobility, and falls-related self-efficacy. CONCLUSIONS: Balance and falls-related self-efficacy are associated with fall history and should be addressed in people with chronic stroke. 相似文献

[Purpose] This study evaluated the changes in balance ability and obstacle gait after
lumbar stabilization exercise and Nintendo WiiTM Sports in elderly at risk for
falls. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-four elderly women with at risk for falls were
randomly divided into the control, lumbar stabilization exercise, and Nintendo Wii Sports
groups. Static balance was measured by the Berg Balance Scale and functional reach test,
dynamic balance by the timed up-and-go test, and obstacle negotiation function by crossing
velocity and maximum vertical heel clearance. [Results] Both the lumbar stabilization
exercise and Nintendo Wii Sports groups showed significant improvements in obstacle
negotiation function after the exercise compared to the control group. Berg Balance Scale
and functional reach test scores were greater in the lumbar stabilization exercise group,
while the timed up-and-go test time was significantly better in the Nintendo Wii Sports
groups. [Conclusion] Lumbar stabilization exercises and Nintendo Wii Sports improve
falling related balance and obstacle negotiation function in elderly women at risk for
falls.Key words: Elderly women, Falls, Nintendo Wii Sports 相似文献

[Purpose] This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of mechanical horseback riding
exercise on the balance ability of the elderly. [Subjects and Methods] Ten elderly
patients were assigned to an experimental group, and they performed 15 min of horseback
riding. Another 10 elderly patients were assigned to a control group, and they performed
15 min of one-leg standing exercise. Both exercises were repeated five times a week for a
total of six weeks. The participants’ balance ability was evaluated. [Results] The
horseback-riding group showed significant differences between the pre-and post-test
balance abilities as assessed by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Timed Up and Go
(TUG) test. [Conclusion] Horseback riding effectively improves the balance ability of the
elderly. Horseback riding should be considered as a therapeutic method for the physical
therapy of the elderly.Key words: Balance ability, Elderly, Mechanical horseback riding 相似文献

It is well known that patients who have suffered a stroke have problems with balance and have feelings of unsteadiness. The aim of this study was to analyse the correlation between how patients estimate their perceived confidence in task performance without falling and the objective assessment of balance made by a physiotherapist, and whether the Falls Efficacy Scale (FES(S)) is to be recommended for use in patients in the acute phase of stroke. Sixty patients divided into two groups assessed their belief to perform daily life activities without fear of falling using the FES(S) and were assessed by using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) by a physiotherapist. Group 1 assessed themselves before, whereas Group 2 assessed themselves after the objective assessment. The correlation between the FES(S) and the TUG was moderate to good, but these two scales consider different aspects and dimensions of balance, ability, and belief and are therefore not interchangeable. The correlation between FES(S) and BBS was low to moderate. The conclusion of this study was that the FES(S) is not to be recommended as a single measurement in the acute phase of stroke because it does not measure actual balance function. 相似文献

The effects of incremental speed-dependent treadmill training on postural instability and fear of falling in Parkinson's disease 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
OBJECTIVE: To detect the effectiveness of incremental speed-dependent treadmill training on postural instability, dynamic balance and fear of falling in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Ankara Education and Research Hospital, 2nd PM&R Clinic, Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Unit. SUBJECTS: Fifty-four patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease in stage 2 or 3 of the Hoehn Yahr staging entered, and 31 patients (21 training, 10 control) had outcome data. INTERVENTIONS: Postural instability of patients with Parkinson's disease was assessed using the motor component of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Berg Balance Test, Dynamic Gait Index and Falls Efficacy Scale. Twenty-one patients with Parkinson's disease participated in an eight-week exercise programme using incremental speed-dependent treadmill training. Before and after the training programme, balance, gait, fear of falling and walking distance and speed on treadmill were assessed in both Parkinson's disease groups. MAIN MEASURES: Walking distance and speed on treadmill, UPDRS, Berg Balance Test, Dynamic Gait Index and Falls Efficacy Scale. RESULTS: Initial total walking distance of the training group on treadmill was 266.45 +/- 82.14 m and this was progressively increased to 726.36 +/- 93.1 m after 16 training session (P < 0.001). Tolerated maximum speed of the training group on treadmill at baseline was 1.9 +/- 0.75 km/h and improved to 2.61 +/- 0.77 km/h (P < 0.001). Berg Balance Test, Dynamic Gait Index and Falls Efficacy Scale scores of the training group were improved significantly after the training programme (P < 0.01). There was no significant improvement in any of the outcome measurements in the control group (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Specific exercise programmes using incremental speed-dependent treadmill training may improve mobility, reduce postural instability and fear of falling in patients with Parkinson's disease. 相似文献

[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of resistance exercise using Thera-band on
balance of elderly adults. [Methods] Subjects (age range, 60–70 years) were randomly
assigned to an experimental (n=12) or control group (n=12). The experimental group
performed stretching and resistance exercises, and the control group performed stretching
exercises only. Before and after the 5-week intervention, the participants’ static and
dynamic balance were evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale, the Timed Up & Go Test,
and the Tetrax Portable Multiple System (Tetrax Ltd., Ramat Gan, Israel) after 5 weeks.
[Results] After the intervention, the values of the Tetrax in the weight distribution
index with eyes open and that with eyes closed and the stability test index with eyes open
were significantly lower in the resistance exercise group than in the control group, and
the pre-test values were was significantly higher than the post-test values. However,
there were no significant differences between groups in the values of the Berg Balance
Scale, the Timed Up & Go Test, and the Tetrax stability test index with the eyes
closed. [Conclusion] The findings of this study indicate that resistance exercise using
the Thera-band is possible to improve the static and dynamic balance of elderly
adults.Key words: Stretching, Resistance exercise, Balance 相似文献

The aim of the study was to assess the characteristics of footwear altogether and to compare the effect of appropriate-fitting and ill-fitting footwear on functional performance, balance, and fear of falling (FoF) in older adults. Individuals who wore appropriate-fitting (n = 61) or ill-fitting footwear (n = 92) were enrolled in the study. Footwear was evaluated using the Footwear Assessment Scale (FAS). The participants were assessed using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) for balance, the Timed Up and Go test for functional performance and the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale for FoF. Tests were conducted twice for each individual with or without footwear. Differences between the groups were analyzed using the MANOVA for scores of balance, performance and fear of falling and Chi-squared test for homogeneity. The Paired t-test was used to compare test scores with or without footwear. It was concluded that appropriate-fitting footwear improves balance, reduces fear of falling and may affect functional performance positively.ClinicalTrials.gov No: NCT04151654 相似文献

[Purpose] The few studies conducted on subacute stroke patients have focused only on gait
function improvement. This study therefore aimed to confirm the effect of balance training
with additional motor imagery on balance and gait improvement in subacute stroke patients.
[Subjects and Methods] Participants were divided into an experimental or control group.
The experimental group received balance training for 20 minutes/day with mental imagery
for 10 minutes/day, three days/week, for four weeks. The control group received only
balance training for 30 minutes. Before and after the 12 sessions, balance and gait
ability were assessed by the researcher and a physical therapist. [Results] After
completion of the 4-week intervention, Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test,
Functional Reach Test, and Four Square Step test scores significantly increased in the
experimental group. In the control group, Berg Balance Scale and Functional Reach Test
scores significantly improved. Changes in the Timed Up and Go test, Functional Reach Test,
and Four Square Step Test scores after intervention were significantly higher in the
experimental than in the control group. [Conclusion] Specific balance training with
additional motor imagery may result in better rehabilitation outcomes of gait and balance
ability than balance training alone.Key words: Balance, Gait, Motor imagery 相似文献

[Purpose] The objective of this study was to perform forward bending of the trunk and
reaching training in chronic stroke patients and to investigate subsequent changes in
trunk control, dynamic balance, and gait. [Subject] Twenty-three chronic stroke patients
were randomly divided into two groups, with 10 patients in the forward bending of the
trunk and reaching group and 13 patients in the control group. [Methods] Both groups
underwent 30 minutes of rehabilitation therapy, five days a week, for four weeks. The
forward bending of the trunk and reaching group additionally performed forward bending of
the trunk and reaching training five times a week for four weeks, which involved four sets
of pressing buttons 35 times, for a total of 140 button presses per session. The subjects
were tested before and after training using the Trunk Impairment Scale, Berg Balance
Scale, Timed Up and Go Test, Six-Minute Walking Test, and 10-Meter Walking Test. Trunk
control, dynamic balance, and walking ability were compared between the two groups.
[Result] The results of the study showed that the results of the Trunk Impairment Scale,
Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go Test, Six-Minute Walking Test improved significantly
in the FBR group, while there were no significant differences in the control group.
[Conclusion] This study results suggest that forward bending of the trunk and reaching
training can be an effective exercise method for chronic stroke patients.Key words: Postural control, Stroke, Trunk 相似文献

[Purpose] The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of whole-body
vibration (WBV) in the horizontal direction on the motor function and balance of chronic
stroke survivors. [Subjects and Methods] This study was a randomized controlled trial.
Twenty-one individuals with chronic stroke from an inpatient rehabilitation center
participated in the study. The participants were allocated to either the WBV training
group or the control group. The WBV training group (n = 12) received whole-body vibration
delivered in the horizontal direction (15 min/day, 3 times/week, 6 wks) followed by
conventional rehabilitation (30 min/day, 5 times/week, 6 wks); the control group (n = 9)
received conventional rehabilitation only (30 min/day, 5 times/week, 6 wks). Motor
function was measured by using the Fugl-Meyer assessment, and balance was measured by
using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test before and after the
interventions. [Results] After the interventions, all variables improved significantly
compared with the baseline values in the WBV training group. In the control group, no
significant improvements in any variables were noted. In addition, the BBS score in the
WBV training group increased significantly compared with that in the control group.
[Conclusion] WBV training with whole-body vibration delivered in the horizontal direction
may be a potential intervention for improvement of motor function and balance in patients
who previously experienced a stroke.Key words: Stroke, Whole-body vibration, Motor function 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive
activity combined with active physical exercise for a sample of older adults with
dementia. [Subjects] A convenience sample of 30 patients with dementia (Mini-Mental State
Examination score between 16 and 23) was used. Participants were randomly allocated to one
of two groups: cognitive activity combined with physical exercise CAE, n=11), and only
cognitive activity CA, n=9). [Methods] Both groups participated in a therapeutic exercise
program for 30 minutes, three days a week for 12 weeks. The CAE group performed an
additional exercise for 30 minutes a day, three days a week for 12 weeks. A Wii Balance
Board (WBB, Nintendo, Japan) was used to evaluate postural sway as an assessment of
balance. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES) were used
to assess dynamic balance abilities. The Timed Up-and-Go test (TUG) was used to assess
gait, and the Digit Span Test (DST) and 7 Minute Screening Test (7MST) were used to
measure memory performance. The Mini-Mental Status Exam-Korean version (MMSE-K), Kenny
Self-Care Evaluation (KSCE), and Short Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were used to
assess quality of life (QOL). [Results] There were significant beneficial effects of the
therapeutic program on balance (velocity in EOWB, path length in ECNB, BBS, and MMFE), QOL
(MMSE-KC, GDS, KSCE), and memory performance (DSB) in the CAE group compared to CA group,
and between pre-test and post-test. [Conclusion] A 12-week CAE program resulted in
improvements in balance, memory and QOL. Therefore, some older adults with dementia have
the ability to acquire effective skills relevant to daily living.Key words: Dementia, Elderly, Gait 相似文献

Objectives: To investigate the effects of whole-body vibration in addition to an exercise programme on functional mobility and related outcomes for frail older fallers. Design: Single-blind randomized parallel group trial. Setting: UK; National Health Service assessment and rehabilitation facility for older people. Participants: Frail older fallers: 38 (80 ± 8.6 years) performed the exercise with whole-body vibration (vibration group), and 39 (82 ± 8.1 years) without (exercise group). Intervention: Sixty minutes supervised exercise class three times weekly for eight weeks ± whole-body vibration (up to 5 × 1 minute, 15-30 Hz and 2-8 mm peak-to-peak). Measurements: Timed Up and Go, 6-m walk, static balance, fear of falling (FES-I) and self-reported health status (SF-12 version 2) were assessed at baseline, four weeks (mobility measures only), eight weeks and six months. Results: Timed Up and Go and 6-m walk improved in both groups at eight weeks (P < 0.01), but significantly more in the vibration group (timed up and go: 38 vs. 20%, P < 0.05); 6-m walk: (36 vs. 18.1%, P < 0.05, respectively). Balance, fear of falling and physical component of the self-reported health status improved similarly in both groups (P < 0.05). At follow-up, no significant differences from baseline remained for any measure. The mean total time experienced was 37% of maximal target. Conclusion: The addition of whole-body vibration to strength and balance exercise resulted in greater improvements in functional mobility than exercise alone, despite achieving lower than anticipated exposure. Gains from neither intervention were sustained at six months. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of two exercise programs with three different measurements (Falls Efficacy Scale–FES, Berg Balance Scale–BBS, and bilateral ankle dorsiflexor strength–ADFS) and to determine if these measurements correlate to each other. Thirteen pairs of subjects residing in a senior living community were recruited and matched for age, gender, and assistive device. The matched subjects were randomly divided into one of two exercise groups–resistance group (RG) provided with the exercise combination of resistance strengthening, balance and gait or seated group (SG) provided with seated range of motion exercise. Eleven pairs completed the 12-week exercise program. The results revealed that subjects in the RG made more improvement in fear of falling, balance, and ankle dorsiflexor strength than those in the SG. The decrease of FES score (fear of falling) is moderately correlated with the increase of BBS (balance) and ADFS scores. The improved BBS is also moderately correlated with the increased ADFS. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The fear of falling can have detrimental effects on physical function in the elderly population, but the relationship between a persons' confidence in the ability to maintain balance and actual balance ability and functional mobility is not known. The extent to which balance confidence can be explained by balance performance, functional mobility, and sociodemographic, psychosocial, and health-related factors was the focus of this study. SUBJECTS: The subjects were 50 community-dwelling elderly people, aged 65 to 95 years (mean=81.7, SD=6.7). METHODS: Balance was measured using the Berg Balance Scale. Functional mobility was measured using the Timed Up Go Test. The Activities-specific Balance Scale was used to assess balance confidence. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation, multiple regression analysis, and t tests. RESULTS: Fifty-seven percent of the variance in balance confidence could be explained by balance performance. Functional mobility and subject characteristics examined in this study did not contribute to balance confidence. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Balance performance alone is a strong determinant of balance confidence in community-dwelling elderly people. 相似文献

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between gait speed
and various factors in ambulatory patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. [Subjects]
Fifty ambulatory patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease who were admitted to an
outpatient clinic were included in this cross-sectional study. [Methods] The Hoehn and
Yahr Scale was used for measurement of the disease severity. Gait speed was measured by
the 10-Meter Walk Test. Mobility status was assessed by Timed Up and Go Test. The Hospital
Anxiety and Depression Scale was used for evaluation of emotional state. Cognitive status
was examined with the Mini-Mental State Examination. The Downton Index was used for fall
risk assessment. Balance was evaluated with the Berg Balance Scale. Comorbidity was
measured with the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale. The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey
was completed for measurement of quality of life. [Results] The mean age was 66.7 (47–83)
years. Twenty-eight (56%) patients were men. Gait speed was correlated positively with
height, male gender, Mini-Mental Examination score, Berg Balance Scale score and physical
summary scores of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey. On the other hand, there was a
negative correlation between gait speed and age, disease severity, TUG time, Downton
Index, fear of falling, previous falls and the anxiety and depression scores of the
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. There was no correlation between gait speed and
comorbidity. [Conclusion] The factors related with the slower gait speed are, elder age,
clinically advanced disease, poor mobility, fear of falling, falling history, higher
falling risk, and mood disorder.Key words: Gait, Fear of falling, Parkinson’s disease 相似文献
