“…The therapy was focused on training the response to visual stimuli, which may be the reason why, without visual feedback, there was no statistically significant improvement in standing balance. Low et al also mentioned the positive effect of game-like training with audiovisual feedback using WBB on the improvement in dynamic balance, but not in tests aimed at standing balance without visual feedback [18].…”

“…Elderly women show more severe impairments of balance when simultaneously deprived of visual and somatosensory inputs or during a backward destabilization than men [17]. Several studies detected the positive effect of game-like training with audiovisual feedback using WBB in patients with chronic stroke at the improvement of performance in gait (dynamic balance), but not in the other physical measures [18]. The aim of the work is to verify the usability of audiovisual feedback and WBB in the group-based game-like therapy of patients with VAS, to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the intervention, and to evaluate the influence of patients' gender and age on their postural stability.…”

Background: The aim of the work is to verify the usability of a stabilometric platform and audiovisual feedback in the group-based therapy of patients with vertebral algic syndrome, to analyze an immediate effect after a single therapeutic unit, and to analyze differences between male and female probands. Methods: The study included 189 patients (90 male, age 55 ± 12 and 89 female, age 52 ± 12). All patients received group balance therapy with a portable medical device, Homebalance MA. The intervention consisted of measurement of quiet stance and a reference training scene before and after 15 min of game-like balance training with audiovisual feedback. Results: A statistically significantly lower value of the body sway trajectory during quiet stance was detected in men than in women. After a single therapy session, there was a statistically significant improvement in quiet stance with visual feedback, and marginal statistically significant improvement in the time required to complete the reference training scene. Conclusions: Homebalance MA is a utilizable tool for group therapy. The use of group game-like balance training increases the availability of physiotherapeutic intervention for a larger number of patients, while maintaining the positive effect of the therapy.
