| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of bio-feedback method training patients after stroke balance, cognitive functions and functional independence. In the research we compared the effectiveness of feedback-based balance training program and conventional physiotherapy program for patients' balance training in acute period after stroke, evaluated the effectiveness of feedback-based balance training program and conventional physiotherapy program for recovery of functional independence and cognitive functions in acute period after stroke, compared the effectiveness of different balance training programs for results of balance and functional independence in remote period after stroke and evaluated the relations between the results of balance, measured with classic tests and with feedback-based platforms, cognitive functions, functional independence, patients’ age, gender and variables of clinical condition in acute period after stroke. We assessed, that training patients’ after stroke balance with feedback-based platforms, their balance improved more quickly and significantly than balance of patients’ who where trained using conventional balance training physiotherapy program. Balance of the patients, trained using feedback-based platforms, before leaving the rehabilitation was statistically significantly better than balance of patients trained with conventional physiotherapy program (p<0,05). Functional independence (BI, FIM, FIM mobility) and cognitive functions (MMSE) results of patients’, trained with feedback-based platforms, at the end of the rehabilitation course were statistically significantly better than the results of control group patients (p<0,05). We found out, that functional independence and balance results of patients’ after stroke, whose balance was trained with feedback-based platforms, in remote period were statistically significantly better than of patients, who were subject to conventional physiotherapy balance training program (p<0,05). The research results showed statistically significant (p<0,05, p <0,01) relations between balance, measured with feedback-based platforms, and patients' functional independence, cognitive functions, results of classic balance tests, muscle strength, patients’ age, days before arrival to rehabilitation (r= from 0,572 to 0,862). |
