Objective: To evaluate the effect of balance training combined with psychological counselling on patients with balance dysfunction after traffic accident.

Methods: One patient after traffic accident was diagnosed of balance dysfunction, posttraumatic stress disorder, mild depression and anxiety after excluding organic injury. The patient was given balance training combined with psychological counselling, and the therapeutic response was evaluated by mental psychological scales.

Results: After 20 times of balance training, the patient recovered from balance dysfunction and was able to cross the road alone, and the post-traumatic stress disorder was gradually relieved. The scores of Berg Balance Scale, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) were significantly improved.

Conclusion: For the balance dysfunction mainly caused by post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression, routine rehabilitation training combined with psychotherapy may be an effective treatment strategy.
