Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of three-dimensional movement platform training combined with whole-body vibration therapy on the risk of balance function and falls in elderly stroke patients. Method:A total of 80 elderly stroke patients who received rehabilitation treatment in the Rehabilitation Depart-ment of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from September 2021 to August 2022 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number ta-ble method.Two cases dropped out in each group,and the final number of cases in the control and observa-tion groups was 38,respectively.Patients in both groups received conventional rehabilitation training.In addi-tion,the control group received static balance training,and the observation group received three-dimensional movement platform training combined with whole-body vibration treatment.Treatment was performed 6 times a week for 6 weeks.Berg balance scale(BBS),timed up and walked test(TUG)and Pro-Kin balance tester were used to assess the balance and fall risk before and after treatment. Result:Before treatment,there was no significant difference in BBS score,TUG score,pressure center motion area score,pressure center movement length score and stability limit(LOS)score between the two groups(P＞0.05).After 6 weeks of treatment,the above scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before training(P＜0.05).The BBS score(50.79±5.69),TUG score(14.13±3.00),Pressure center motion area score(327.32±57.66),Pressure center movement length score(445.79±56.95)and LOS score(86.82±3.33)of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group(P＜0.05). Conclusion:Three-dimensional exercise platform training combined with whole-body vibration therapy can help improve the balance function in elderly stroke patients,but the effect on the risk of falls requires further fol-low-up study.
