Abstract

Objective:To observe the effect of visual feedback balance training on balance and functional shifting in stroke patients.Methods: Thirty-two stroke patients were randomly divided into treatment group(n=17) and control group(n=15).Patients in both groups received routine physical therapy training,and those in treatment group received the visual feedback balance training via the feedback balance platform additionally.All the patients were assessed by Berg Balance Scale(BBS) and the Timed UpGo Test(TUG) before and 5 weeks after training.Results: After training for 5 weeks,BBS was significantly increased and time for TUG was significantly shortened as compared with those before training(P0.05).The improvement on BBS and TUG in the treatment group was more significant than in the control group(P0.05).Conclusion: For hemiplegic stroke patients,the balance and functional shifting can be improved by the visual feedback balance training.
