Strategies for Balance Rehabilitation

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2001
Abstract: Identification of fall risk for patients with known vestibular hypofunction is important because it affects the management and the level of independence of these patients. Patients with bilateral vestibular loss, overall, have a greater incidence of falls than the general community‐dwelling population over the age of 65 years.

Multimodal Feedback for Balance Rehabilitation

2015
This paper describes development of an activity based, multimodal balance rehabilitation training device. Various sensors can be used, including a force plate, inertial sensors, and depth sensing cameras, and various combinations of visual, auditory and tactile feedback can be configured depending on the rehabilitation task and activity.

Video aid to rehabilitation of standing balance

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1982
A system is described which utilises video games to encourage rehabilitation of standing balance following traumatic disruption of this ability. By transference of body weight both between the feet and in the fore-and-aft direction, a patient can correspondingly move a cross on a video screen.

The role of rehabilitation in the treatment of balance disorders

Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 1999
The vestibular system registers changes in head position, gravity, vibration, acceleration and deceleration. This information is then transmitted to the central nervous system, where additional information from the visual and auditory systems, muscles, tendons, joints and skin, serve to regulate and maintain the equilibrium and orientation of the ...

Balance Training in Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention, 2015
Balance impairment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with a worsening of quality of life (QOL) as related with fatigue perception, depression, and anxiety. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of balance training included in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on QOL, fatigue perception, depression, and anxiety in ...

Protein Turnover, Nitrogen Balance and Rehabilitation

1983
Not many studies have been done on protein turnover during recovery from malnutrition. Some relevant information can, however, be obtained from measurements on normal growing animals, since rehabilitation and normal growth have in common a rapid rate of net protein synthesis.
