Most virtual reality rehabilitation of balance and mobility studies about persons post-stoke report body function structure and activity level outcomes of the International Classification of Function. Only a few investigators have reported participation outcomes. Patient-centered approach to incorporating video games into the plan of care would require the use of participation outcomes. The purpose...
Balance recovery during an unexpected disturbance is a complex motor task, where part of the variability depends on the type of the perturbation itself. Despite of this, little is known to what extent adaptation mechanisms to repeated perturbations are dependent on the direction and the amplitude of the applied disturbances. Here, we used a modified version of the Active Tethered Pelvic Assist Device...
Falls are acknowledged as one of the most serious problems in the elderly. In order to develop effective interventions to reduce the fall risk, perturbation-based training programs are being adopted. The exposure to repeated unexpected perturbations can modify proactive strategies to control dynamical gait stability and decrease the risk of falling during unpreventable events encountered in everyday...
The majority of falls occur during walking. This begs the question, “Why are most balance training exercises performed when standing still?” Visual feedback for balance training is becoming more prevalent in rehabilitation, but is often performed while standing still. Five subjects have completed an eight week intervention study, part of an ongoing randomized controlled clinical trial. All subjects...
