Balance rehabilitation therapy by tongue tactile biofeedback in patients with degenerative cerebellar disease: preliminary results
Original language description
Cerebellar damage typically results in ataxia and can be caused by stroke, tumor, or some degenerative diseases. Since few pharmacological options are available, most treatments rely heavily on rehabilitation therapy. A possible way to improve balance isthe use of a biofeedback system in balance prosthesis. Five patients voluntarily took part in a balance rehabilitation program consisting of postural exercises executed with the biofeedback system for 10 to 20 minutes, twice a day over a 2-week period.These peliminary results suggest that a balance rehabilitation program with postural exercise performed with a head position-based tonque-placed biofeedback system could significantly improve bipedal postural control in patients suffering from ataxia dueto cerebellar degeneration.
