Treatment of balance with Computerised Dynamic Posturography therapy in chronic hemiplegic patients

Background: As patients with hemiplegia have a high risk of falling, it is important to develop fall rehabilitation plan and/or apply personalised treatment when necessary.Objectives: We aimed evaluate the effects individualised Computerised Dynamic Posturography (CDP) on balance in and without history chronic hemiplegic falls.Method: Forty (time post-stroke: 8–18 months) between 40 70 years age Istanbul Yeniyüzyıl University, Gaziosmanpaşa Hospital participated our study. The were divided into two groups: Group 1, falling (n = 20) 2, no 20). both groups included traditional programme for 5 weeks, days week, 1 h. group falls also received CDP 20 min, 3 weeks. Patients evaluated Sensory Organisation Test (SOT) Berg Balance Scale (BBS).Results: In significant improvement was determined after-treatment SOT values compared before (p 0.022). Significant found BBS 0.003) 6 0.022) 2. There statistically difference ≥ 0.05).Conclusion: Larger samples longer duration therapy studies may be required improve falls.Clinical Implications: addition therapy, beneficial post-stroke falls.
