Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Biodex dynamic and static balance testing and training system for balance recovery in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Methods: Forty-two eligible patients with Parkinson’s disease were randomly divided into general balance training group (control group, n = 21) and the Biodex dynamic and static balance testing and training group (study group, n = 21), and received the general balance training and Biodex dynamic and static balance training for 6 weeks, respectively. The dynamic and static balance function was evaluated before training and six weeks after training. The Berg Balance Scale was also used to examine the patients’ balance function.
Results: As compared with before training, the static balance score of the study group was obviously improved after training for 6 weeks (P < 0.05); in the control group, the balance function score of forward and backward adjustment was not remarkably improved after training (P > 0.05). After training for 6 weeks, the balance function scores of overall, forward, front-left and front-right adjustments of the study group were significantly improved than those before training and those of the control group after training (all P < 0.05), but the scores of left and right adjustments were not significantly improved as compared with those of the control group after training (both P > 0.05); in the control group, only the scores of left and right adjustments were significantly improved after training (both P < 0.05). The Berg Balance Scale score of the study group was also obviously improved as compared with that before training and that of the control group after training (both P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Biodex dynamic and static balance testing and training system is superior to the general balance training in improving the balance function of the patients with Parkinson’s disease, especially in forward, left, right, front-left and front-right adjustments.
