Balance rehabilitation therapy by tongue electrotactile biofeedback in patients with degenerative cerebellar disease
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 [1]. A possible way to improve balance is the use of a biofeedback system in balance prosthesis. Tyler et al. [2] developed a head position-based, tongueplaced biofeedback system whose underlying principle is to transmit artificially sensed head orientation/motion with respect to gravitational vertical along anteroposterior and mediolateral axes through electrotactile stimulation of the tongue. The aim of present study was assessing the effectiveness of a balance rehabilitation program using this biofeedback system in patients suffering from progressive ataxia due to cerebellar degeneration.
