본 연구는 가상현실시스템을 이용한 훈련이 뇌졸중 환자의 균형과 낙상효능감에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 연구 대상자는 뇌졸중 환자 20명으로 실험군 10명 대조군 10명씩 각각 배정하였다. 실험군과 대조군 모두 일반적인 주 5회의 물리치료와 작업치료를 받았다. 실험군은 추가적으로 가상현실 프로그램을 이용하여 8주간 1일 20분 주 3회 시행하였다. 본 연구의 측정은 균형수행 능력검사, 낙상효능감 척도검사를 사용하였다. 두 군 간 훈련 후 측정 사이에 균형수행 능력검사와, 낙상효능감 검사에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 또한 각 군 간 훈련 후 측정 사이에 균형수행 능력검사와, 낙상효능감 검사에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 따라서 가상현실 프로그램 병행한 훈련이 뇌졸중 환자의 균형과 낙상효능감을 향상시키는데 긍적적인 도움을 주어 유용한 뇌졸중 환자의 치료 프로그램으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 보여 진다.

In This paper, we propose a determine the correlation between bat swing speed and balance ability in elementary school baseball players. This study subjects were 40 subjects. Bat swing speed was measured using a zepp2baseball, and balance ability was measured using a biorescue. For the measurement of balance ability, eyes open surface·eyes open length·eyes open average speed·eyes close surface·eyes close length·eyes close average speed were measured. pearson's correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between bat swing speed and balance ability. There was a significant negative correlation between bat swing speed and eyes close surface (r=-0.366, p<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between bat swing speed and eyes close length(r=-0.348, p<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between bat swing speed and eyes close average speed(r=-0.455, p<0.01). Among them, eyes close average speed showed the highest correlation (p<0.01). These findings suggest that improvement of the balance ability has a positive effect on bat swing speed.

본 연구는 뇌졸중으로 인한 편마비 환자 20명을 대상으로 총 8주간 시지각 운동 과제를 적용하여 자세 균형, 보행 양상에 미치는 효과를 검증하고자 시행하였다. 실험군(n=10)과 대조군(n=10) 모두 보존적인 물리치료를 실시하였고 실험군에는 시지각 운동 과제 프로그램을 더하여 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 실험군의 되먹임 측정을 통한 자세 균형 검사에서 편평한 지면 위에서 눈을 뜨고 감은 상태의 안정성 지수는 유의한 감소를 보였으며, pillow 위에서 눈을 뜨고 감은 상태의 안정성 지수도 유의하게 감소하였다. 체중분포지수는 편평한 지면에서 눈을 뜨고, 감은 상태와 pillow 위에서 눈을 뜨고 감은 상태 모두에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 실험군에서 10m 보행 속도는 대조군과 달리 유의하게 증가하였다. 본 연구에서의 시지각적 운동과제 프로그램은 편마비 환자의 신체기능과 관련된 자세균형 및 보행을 증진시키는 효과가 있었고 이에 보다 효과적인 운동방법으로 제시할 수 있다.

The elderly people with advancing years have many problems such as the decline of the proprioceptive, visual & vestibular function and muscle weakness. Furthermore the decrease of the reflex which influences the balance ability in sudden change of the movement could cause the falls. The difficulty of the balance caused by the fear releated to the fall aggravates the Falls Efficacy and causes a lot of the disability of the independent activities of daily living. The purpose of this study was the effect of a Virtual Reality Program on Static Balance control and Fall efficacy of Elderly people. 14 elderly people(subjects) who were ≥65years of age partiripated in this study and they were divided into VR(Virtual Reality) group(n=7) and Control group (n=7). VR group took the general physical therapy & IREX and only the general physical therapy was carried out in the control group. VR group of intervention was carried out for 30min. total 8times. They were evaluated by BIO-Rescue, Fall Efficacy Scale before and after treatment. The Static Balance control and Fall efficacy were assessed by Bio-Rescue & Falls Efficacy Scale. The analysis of the resulf was assessed by Wilcoxon signed test & Mann-Whitney U test. The result showed that the static balance of VR group with the open eyes was improved in a static balance test and range of the movement was increased in limited of stability. And Falls Efficacy was also efficacious. IREX was effective to static balance control and Falls Efficacy of the elderly When we think about these effects, various treatments and objective assessments using VR program will be needed for the elderly

Objective : The aim of this study is to prove the effects of mental practice in balance ability of elderly population, and to investigate the possibility of application as an effective intervention method for fall prevention. Methods : This study provided mental practice to 3 subjects over 65 years old who have experienced fall, but do not have cognitive dysfunctions and independent in gait without any use of assistive devices from July to October, 2013. Within the individual case study, 4 sessions of initial baseline process (A), 5 sessions of mental practice (B), 4 sessions of re-initial baseline process (A') were proceeded using ABA design. Independent variable used mental practice for enhancing balance ability and fall efficacy in elderly population, and dependent variable were Berg Balance Scale (BBS) to find out the change in overall balance ability, Fall Efficacy Scale (FES) to see the change in fall efficacy, One-Leg Standing test(OLS), and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) to determine the changes in both static and dynamic balance. Analysis of the results were provided via mean value and graph. Results : After the application of mental practice method, all of the subjects have shown increase in fall efficacy baseline values, and in addition, overall balance ability and both static and dynamic balances either increased or maintained. Conclusion : This study demonstrated that mental practice has positive effects on fall efficacy improvement and maintenance in elderly, thereby suggesting mental practice for fall prevention in elderly populations.

This study was to examine the effect of lower extremity muscle strengthening exercise on balance and fall efficacy in middle older adults women. This study was conducted with one group pre-test and post-test design. A total of 34 older adults women participated in 7 weeks of intervention. Data were analyzed as SPSS ver. 21.0 using descriptive statistics and paired t-test. Right leg balance(t=6.09, p<.001), left leg balance(t=6.76, p<.001), and fall efficacy(t=6.81, p<.001) were significantly increased. Dynamic balance(t= -4.68, p=.001) was significantly decreased. This study found that lower extremity muscle strengthening exercise program could be a useful health promotion method.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of mental practice on increasing balance and fall index & fall efficacy scale of persons with post stroke. Method : As a single subject research design with multiple baseline across individuals, the patients were four stroke patients, employed in this study. The employed program included receiving mental practice, and measuring balance score changes using FRT for 4 weeks, including baseline and intervention periods. The subject's fall danger were measured by Fall Index Test(Tetrax) and Fall Efficacy Scale for balance ability were analyzed. The analyses were performed using visually and Two Standard Deviation Band Method. Result : Using FRT, the participants improved their standing balance. During the intervention periods, Their improvement of balance skills results in decreasing Fall Index increasing Fall Efficacy. Conclusion : As a result of this study, mental practice can be an effective method to improve the balance of stroke patien.
