The use of exergame for balance competencies was recently explored in women affected by balance ability reduction with non-conclusive results. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of a supervised exergame performed with the Wii Fit compared to conventional exercises on balance function, quality of life, fear of fall and well-being in women with bone loss. Thirty-eight female participants aged over 65 years, with a bone loss condition, were enrolled and random allocated in the Wii group or control group. Subject enrolled in Wii group performed a balance training with a Wii Fit supervised by a physiotherapist (1 h, 2 days per week, during 8 weeks) while in control subjects performed the same amount of conventional balance exercises. Subject enrolled in experimental group showed significantly higher scores in terms of Berg Balance Scale (p = 0.027). In SF-36 scores, a significant difference was reported for physical activity score after treatment (p = 0.031). Fear of falling and the psychological scales were not significantly different between the two groups. In women with bone loss condition, a supervised Wii Fit training has shown better efficacy in improving balance performance with respect to conventional balance exercises.
最近，研究人员探讨了使用健身游戏来改善平衡能力，针对平衡能力下降的女性进行的研究结果尚无定论。本研究的目的是评估与传统运动相比，在Wii Fit上进行的有监督健身游戏对骨质流失女性的平衡功能、生活质量、跌倒恐惧和幸福感的功效。招募了38名65岁以上患有骨质流失的女性参与者，并随机分配到Wii组或对照组。Wii组的参与者在物理治疗师的监督下使用Wii Fit进行平衡训练（每周2天，每次1小时，共8周），而对照组的参与者则进行相同量的传统平衡运动。实验组的参与者在伯格平衡量表上的得分显著更高（p = 0.027）。在SF-36评分中，治疗后身体活动得分有显著差异（p = 0.031）。两组之间的跌倒恐惧和心理量表没有显著差异。对于患有骨质流失的女性，与传统平衡运动相比，有监督的Wii Fit训练在改善平衡能力方面显示出更好的效果。
