Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to clarify the clinical usefulness of Computerized Balance Evaluation and Training System(COBETS) in treating the patients with balance disturbance. Twenty- three patients who received rehabilitative management due to their balance disturbance after brain damage were treated either by conventional physical therapy(PT) or by visual biofeedback balance training(VBBT) using COBETS for 4 weeks. The static and dynamic postural balance were evaluated at pre- and post-treatment conditions using COBETS balance assessment software. The neurologic and functional assessment and somatosensory evoked potential study were performed as well. Comparing with the control group, the patients treated by VBBT showed significantly improved static and dynamic postural control. |
