This study aims to assess the comparative efficacy of two distinct balancing training intervention strategies, namely, Wii Fit Balance Training (WFT) and Reactive Balance Training (RBT), in reducing older individuals' fear of falling, as well as enhancing their balance and functional mobility.
One of the two groups was randomly assigned a total of 45 individuals. The first group received Wii Fit training, whereas the second group engaged in reactive balancing challenges. The efficiency of the techniques was evaluated using three outcome measures: the Fullerton Advanced Balance (FAB), Scale Time up and Go Test (TUG), and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). To facilitate the comparison between the groups, an independent student -test was employed.
Both experimental groups showed significant improvements compared to their respective control groups in the research study (BBS: = 0.023; = 0.036; FAB: = 0.027; = 0.044; and TUG: = 0.017; = 0.025).
It can be inferred that both reactive balance training and Wii Fit training have the potential to serve as efficacious treatment interventions aimed at mitigating balance deterioration among older individuals.
本研究旨在评估两种不同的平衡训练干预策略，即Wii Fit平衡训练（WFT）和反应性平衡训练（RBT），在降低老年人跌倒恐惧以及增强其平衡能力和功能性移动性方面的比较疗效。
将45名个体随机分为两组。第一组接受Wii Fit训练，而第二组进行反应性平衡挑战。使用三种结果测量指标评估这些技术的效果：富勒顿高级平衡测试（FAB）、计时起立行走测试（TUG）和伯格平衡量表（BBS）。为便于组间比较，采用独立样本t检验。
在该研究中，两个实验组与其各自的对照组相比均显示出显著改善（BBS：P = 0.023；P = 0.036；FAB：P = 0.027；P = 0.044；TUG：P = 0.017；P = 0.025）。
可以推断，反应性平衡训练和Wii Fit训练都有可能作为有效的治疗干预措施，旨在减轻老年人的平衡能力衰退。
