This study was conducted on 20 healthy adults in their 20s to identity the immediate effects of balance, proprioception and flexibility after conducting the PNF combined patterns using 3D Newton box. The data collected in this study were analyzed using the SPSS Window 19.0 statistical program, and the general characteristics of the subjects were calculated by calculating the mean and standard deviation using the technical statistics, and the differences before and after in-group balance, proprioception and flexibility were analyzed by the paired t-test. The balance, proprioception and flexibility of the subjects were measured using Y-balance, one-leg standing, and finger bottom contact. The exercise was applied with an combined pattern of PNF in the 3D Newton box. After exercise, balance, proprioception and flexibility all increased significantly. The results show that combined pattern of PNF using the 3D Newton box immediately works for the balance, proprioception and flexibility of adults in their 20s. Therefore, it is considered to be an exercise that can be actively utilized for adults or patients at high risk of damage due to reduced balance, proprioception and flexibility.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of vestibule-oriented sensory integration treatment on the nystagmus, visual perception and balancing ability of children with developmental disability. Twenty three children with developmental disability were participated in this experiment. Subjects were received the vestibule-oriented sensory integration treatment based on Ayres' sensory integration theory for 12 weeks. The effects of the treatment were evaluated by Southern California Postrotary Nystagmus Test (SCPNT), Developmental Test of Visual Perception-2 (DTVP-2), Pediatric-Clinical Test of Sensory Integration Balance (P-CTSIB), South California Sensory Integration Test (SCSIT) and the selected item in Bruininks-Oeretsky Test of motor proficiency (BOT). The collected data were analyzed by using Wilcoxon test. The result of this study was as follows that the data of the Nystagmus shown statical significant. The data of the Visual Perception and Balancing ability shown statical significant. The proposed vestibule-oriented sensory integration treatment was effective to improvement of nystagmus, the visual perception and the balancing ability in children with Developmenantal Disability.

본 연구의 목적은 뇌졸중으로 인한 만성 편마비 환자를 대상으로 발에 시지각 자극을 적용하여 균형과 보행에 관한 운동기능에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 6개월 이상 된 편마비 환자 16명이 연구에 참여하였고, 무작위로 실험군(EG) 10명과 대조군(CG) 10명으로 구분하였다. 두 군 모두 기본적인 물리치료를 적용하였고 실험군은 정적균형도구인 Tetrax Multiple System을 이용하여 발목에 감각되먹임 시지각 자극을 매회 30분, 4주간 주 3회 실시하였다. 운동 중재 전과 후의 운동기능에 해당하는 균형(TUG), 보행(DGI)을 측적하여 본 연구의 효과를 비교하였다. 실험군에서 정적 균형, TUG, 그리고 동적 균형지수(DGI) 지수는 중재 전후 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈고(p<.05), 실험, 대조군간 전후의 변화율에서도 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 대조군에서는 DGI 만 중재 전후 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 순수하게 유산소 운동만을 실시하였다. 통계처리 방법으로 전 후 차이를 검증하기 위하여 대응표본 t 검정을 실시하였고 대조군과의 차이 검증을 위하여 독립표본 t 검정을 실시하였다. 모든 통계적 유의수준은 0.05로 하였다. 본 연구에서는 편마비 환자에게 흥미를 촉진하고 운동 기능 회복의 효과를 강화할 수 있는 감각 되먹임이 동반된 시지각 자극을 적용하여 균형 및 보행기능의 향상을 얻을 수 있었고, 차후 연구는 장기간의 추적 관찰 연구가 지속되어야 하고 발목 뿐만 아니라 다른 관절에서의 비교연구가 필요할 것이다.

The lower limb somatosensory deficit observed among peripheral neuropathy patients is partially related to the decline in their balance ability. In general, balance ability has been examined by measuring the postural response (i.e., action). However, body motion is induced by integrated multisensory cues (i.e., motion perception). In this study, we hypothesized that the reduced lower limb somatosensation might also lower motion perception. We induced lower limb sensory deficits through ischemia and then measured the cutaneous sensory sensitivity and directional motion perception. The sensory deficit was successfully induced, and it also lowered the motion perception. However, the center of pressure (COP) variation did not significantly change under the sensory deficit. This result implies that measuring motion perception could enable the detection of precursors of sensory deficits.

This study was conducted to compare the effect improving balance abilities of 3 balance training programs by randomized intervention trial. Study subjects were 29 female students recruited from a university in Gwanju, who allocated randomly to 3 intervention groups, aqua group(modified Halliwick 10 point program, N=10), visual bio-feedback balance training group(N=10), and balance-pad plus trampolin group(N=9). As the results of repeated musure ANOVA, Wilcoxon signed rank test, major research findings were as follows; 1. Regarding SI or BIEMG measured at upright posture on hard platform, bio-feedback group under the condition with opening both eye and aqua group under the condition with closing both eye showed signigicant improvement in balance ability, respectively. 2. Regarding SI or BIEMG measured at upright posture on soft platform, bio-feedback group under the condition with opening both eye and aqua group under the condition with closing both eye showed signigicant improvement in balance ability, respectively. 3. Regarding all 3 sensory ratios, bio-feedback group showed significantly higher increasement in them than other 2 groups. The results suggested that visual bio-feedback training program improve the all 3 sensory functions required for balancing, and aqua training modified from Halliwick 10 point program contribute to improve vestibular function principally.

Balance can be defined as the ability to maintain the body's center of gravity within the base of support with minimal sway. Falls occur frequently in the elderly persons by the physiological change and dysfunction with age. Injuries resulting from falls include soft tissue damage and fractures of the radius, humerus, and femoral neck other consequences of falls include decreased mobility, reduced confidence, long lies (which can give rise to hypothermia, dehydration and pneumonia), and death Risk factors for falls have beau classified as intrinsic (those related to the individual) and extrinsic(those associated with environmental features), Intrinsic factors include decreased strength, visual deficits, vestibular dysfunction, and decreased vibratory sensation in the feet. Improvement of the balance related to the increased probability for fells in the elderly persons and is important for fall preventions and improvement of the living quality ef the elderly persons

This research was conducted to see the correlation between changes of ankle Joint Position Sense and Sway Area through Unstable Surface training. For the study, 48 healthy males and females were randomly divided into an unstable surface group(n=24) and a stable surface group(n=24). Then, they were asked to carry out the same exercise program three times a week for six weeks. The unstable surface group and stable surface group performed the exercise program on the balance exercise pad and on the hard ground, respectively. As a result, the unstable surface group displayed significantly reduced error of ankle joint position sense and sway area(p<.05). Moreover, a significant correlation between variances of ankle joint position sense and sway area was only found in the unstable surface group. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that there was a significant correlation between changes of ankle joint position sense and sway area through proprioceptive sense training on the unstable surface.
