The effects of visual information deprivation and feedback balance training on balance in patients with stroke.
NeuroRehabilitation 2024 May 10
BACKGROUND: Patients with stroke depend on visual information due to balance deficits. Therefore, it is believed that appropriate visual deprivation training could have an impact on improving balance abilities.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of balance training performed in visual deprivation and feedback conditions on balance in stroke survivors.
METHODS: The 39 participants were randomly assigned to either the Visual Deprivation Group (VDG; n = 13), the Visual Feedback Group (VFG; n = 13), or the Control Group (CG; n = 13). The training sessions were conducted five times a week for three weeks. Participants completed the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go test (TUG), Four Square Step Test (FSST), and Limit of Stability (LOS) assessments.
RESULTS: The VDG showed significant improvements in BBS, FSST, TUG, and LOS. In VFG, significant improvements were observed in BBS and TUG. There were statistically significant differences among the groups in all variables related to balance.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that balance training under visual deprivation is effective in improving static and dynamic balance and gait in patients with stroke. In other words, patients with stroke need to reduce their over-reliance on visual information.
