简要总结
The study aimed to assess the effects of a virtual balance training program using the Thera-Trainer Balo (TTB) device along with conservative rehabilitation program on the clinical findings; standing, stepping, walking and balance measures; and activities of daily living in patients with stroke.
详细描述
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Approximately 71% of stroke cases occur as a result of ischemic infarcts. Most survivors of stroke experience gait and balance disorders that increase the risk of falling.
It has been shown that the functional recovery of patients with stroke is adversely affected and length of hospital stay during the rehabilitation program, particularly in those with severe balance disorders.
Virtual reality technologies are currently employed to accelerate functional recovery in patients.
A total of 30 patients were included in the study. The patients were randomized into two groups with 15 patients in each group by simple randomization.
Group 1 received the conservative rehabilitation program, whereas Group 2 received a balance training program using the Thera-Trainer Balo (TTB) device along with the conservative rehabilitation program.

结局指标
主要结局
Berg Balance Scale
时间窗: 8 Week After Treatment
The BBS is used to objectively determine a patient's ability to balance safely during a predetermined set of tasks. The scale comprises 14 items. Each item receives a score ranging from 0 to 4, which is a five-point rank scale with 0 indicating the lowest level of functioning and 4 indicating the highest level of functioning
Static and Dynamic Postural Stability Tests
时间窗: 8 Week After Treatment
In the static postural stability test, two-legged standing, tandem standing, two-legged standing on a foam mat, tandem standing on a foam mat, one-legged standing, turning head and stopping on one leg, and one-legged standing on a foam mat were evaluated. The tasks of walking 25 steps on a foam mat and walking 25 steps on hard smooth ground were evaluated in dynamic postural stability test.
Functional Ambulation Scale
时间窗: 8 Week After Treatment
Functional Ambulation Scale is a 6-point functional walking test that evaluates ambulation ability and determines the amount of human support required by patients while walking, regardless of whether they use a personal assistive device. A score of 0 indicates that the patient has a dysfunctional ambulation A score of 5 denotes independent ambulation on any surface.
