Wii rehabilitation and neurological physiotherapy: a systematic review

Abstract

Objective. This study aimed to observe the effects of using the Wii rehabilitation in the physical therapy of neurological disorders. Method. It conducted a systematic review of published studies in electronic databases BIREME, SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library), Science Direct and Lilacs. The survey of studies was realized of august to November 2012, using the keywords in the Portuguese language: jogos de vídeo, reabilitação, acidente vascular cerebral, doença de Parkinson, paralisia cerebral and their translations into English and Spanish. Results. As a result, 326 articles were found, which were submitted to careful evaluation, leaving 10 articles. These ten selected were evaluated for methodological quality, study type, number, age and gender of participants, assessment, intervention type, results and conclusion regarding the use of the Wii rehabilitation in these neurological disorders. Conclusion. It is concluded that the Wii Rehabilitation presents effective results in the treatment of impairments of neurological pathologies engines, since aspects such as duration, frequency or types of games used during treatment.

Interactive Video Gaming Improves Functional Balance in Poststroke Individuals: Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

“…Stroke can be detrimental to speech as well as sensorimotor and cognitive functions. Among the sensorimotor alterations, impairment of functional balance and mobility (Da, Física, Pacientes, & Acidente, 2013;Mc, Kelly, Godwin, Enderby, & Campbell, 2016;Morelato, Pinto, Regina, & Oliveira, 2015) are the most limiting to the activities of daily living (Soares, Santos, Costa, & Melo, 2015;Veerbeek et al, 2014;Webster & Celik, 2014). Several studies have analyzed the effects of different interventions such as functional electrical stimulation, robotic therapy, and virtual reality (Veerbeek et al, 2014) on improving the functional balance and mobility of individuals poststroke.…”

“…The Xbox with Kinect sensors detects movements through a camera that captures infrared signals from anatomical landmarks, creates an avatar, and projects the reproduced movements of the player on the game screen. This enables interaction without the need of a game controller (Soares et al, 2015;Webster & Celik, 2014).…”

Avaliação do alinhamento postural e extensibilidade muscular pela escala SAROMM em crianças e adolescentes com Paralisia Cerebral

“…A PC é decorrente de acontecimentos pré, peri e pós-natal e pode ser causada por infecções, hipóxia, alterações genéticas, prematuridade e entre outros fatores. Esse distúrbio permanente e não progressivo pode afetar a percepção, sensações, cognição e comunicação e originar problemas osteomioarticulares (Hollung &, 2019;Lopes &, 2018;Mota, 2018;Lopes & Pfeifer, 2014;Soares &, 2015;.…”

“…Essa condição ocasiona uma série de problemas posturais, levando a comprometimento motores, que irão depender da área lesada. Contudo, a maioria dos estudos apontam que grande parte das crianças possuem comprometimento que influencia na sua independência funcional e autonomia, acarretando então, atraso no seu desenvolvimento psicomotor (Lopes &, 2019;Lino &, 2020;Park & Johnston, 2006;Soares, et al, 2015;Gasch & Traver, 2019;Silva, et al, 2017;Sousa Júnior &, 2017).…”

“…Referente ao quadro clínico desses indivíduos, pode-se observar fraqueza muscular, rigidez muscular, alterações de tônus (hipertonia espástica ou hipotonia), déficit na marcha, movimentos involuntários, dificuldades na deglutição, problemas fonográficos e em alguns casos alterações cognitivas. A PC pode se apresentar nas formas quadriplégica espástica, diplégica espástica, hemiplégica espástica, discinética, atáxica e pode também exibir outras configurações não identificadas (Lopes, et al, 2018;Soares, et al, 2015;Silva, et al, 2017;Chappell &, 2020).…”
