Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a visual feedbackbased balance training, using force platform biofeedback, on the postural balance of elderly faller.
Methods: Fifty one community-dwelling older adults (aged 66-88 years) with a recent history of fall participated in the study. Participants were randomized to an experimental group (EG, n=25) and to a control group (CG, n=26). The EG participated in training sessions three times/week for 6 weeks. Visual feedbackbased balance training with the a computerized force platform with visual feedback screen was used in the experimental group. Static balance (center of gravity) and dynamic balance (Functional reach test, Timed “Up & Go” test, Berg balance scale) were assessed before and after end of training.
Results: A significant improvement in static balance and dynamic balance were demonstrated within the EG (p＜.05), but not in the CG.
Conclusion: Visual feedback-based balance training may be an effective intervention to improve postural balance of elderly fallers.
