To determine the effects of balance training with visual feedback using static and dynamic Biodex balance system for fall risk and mobility..
The two-arm pilot randomised controlled trial was conducted from July to October 2016 at Fauji Foundation Hospital Rawalpindi and comprised community-dwelling elderly individuals. Subjects having no major co-morbid conditions were recruited via non-probability purposive sampling. Subjects were randomly divided in two equal groups. The intervention group received 8-week training on Biodex balance system and the control group received no intervention. Data was collected using Biodex fall risk score, Berg balance scale and Timed Up and Go Test before and after the treatment. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
There were 18 subjects in two groups of 9(50%) each. Analysis within the groups showed significant improvement in the intervention group (p<0.001) while no significant improvement (p>0.05) was observed in the control group. Post-intervention the result remained unchanged while comparing the two groups (p<0.05).
Dynamic postural training using static and dynamic Biodex balance system had a positive effect on mobility and balance in the elderly.
使用静态和动态Biodex平衡系统进行有视觉反馈的平衡训练，以确定其对跌倒风险和活动能力的影响。
双臂试点随机对照试验于2016年7月至10月在拉瓦尔品第的福吉基金会医院进行，纳入社区居住的老年人。通过非概率目的抽样招募无重大合并症的受试者。受试者被随机分为两组，每组人数相等。干预组接受为期8周的Biodex平衡系统训练，对照组不接受干预。在治疗前后使用Biodex跌倒风险评分、伯格平衡量表和定时起立行走测试收集数据。使用SPSS 20进行数据分析。
两组各有18名受试者，每组9名（50%）。组内分析显示干预组有显著改善（p<0.001），而对照组未观察到显著改善（p>0.05）。干预后两组比较结果保持不变（p<0.05）。
使用静态和动态Biodex平衡系统进行动态姿势训练对老年人的活动能力和平衡有积极影响。
