Effectiveness of incorporating the biofeedback technique — video reconstruction into comprehensive rehabilitation programs for elderly patients

Abstract

Objective: to conduct a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of hardware balance training in elderly patients in order to improve coordination, postural control and improve mobility. The study included 40 participants, over the age of 70 years. All patients were divided into 2 groups: patients in the control group received a standard rehabilitation program: classes in therapeutic gymnastics with an instructor of exercise therapy, massage. In addition to routine methods, patients of the main comparison group underwent training on the CMill dynamic balance training hardware device. The duration of the rehabilitation course was 10 days. As a result of the study, in patients of the main group, compared with the control control group, a significant improvement was noted in 21 out of 33 analyzed podometric indicators of the dynamic walking stereotype. The results of the effective use of the apparatus balance training method indicate the prospect of including this technology in the rehabilitation programs of elderly patients to improve the dynamic stereotype and increase stability while walking.
