生物迴饋站立平衡訓練儀之研發與臨床評估-初步報告

Abstract

For the patient with neurological damage of central nervous system, such as CVA or head injury, standing balance training is very important before walking and self-care training. Stance symmetry in hemiplegic patients had been reported to be significantly related to measurement of severity and length of stay.The present equipment for standing balance training in occupational therapy is too simple in design and with limited function, lack of self-feedback system, unable to adjust the slope of the training table. A newly standing biofeedback training device including instrumented sensors of weight bearing under dual force plat-form and a real time visual/auditory feedback system had been developed for postural training. Sixty patients with hemiplegia after acute stroke or traumatic brain injury were randomly divided into an experimental and a control groups. They were either trained by the new designed standing balance equipment or the conventional equipment for 5 times per week, 20 minutes at each section. After training for a period of four weeks, the percentage of postural symmetry in experimental and control groups were reduce from 15.6±10.5 % and 16.8±10.3 % to 3.5±2.2% and 10.1±6.4 % respectively (p=0.002). There was no significant difference between right and left hemiplegia patients. The results indicated that this newly designed standing biofeedback device had good training effect on stance symmetry in hemiplegic patients.
