The effect of balance therapy on postural stability in a group of seniors using active video games (Nintendo wii)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Impaired postural stability increases the risk of falls. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the lasting effects of a training intervention using a Nintendo Wii system on impaired postural stability in an elderly population. Thirty-two elderly subjects (24 females and 4 males) from two independent living communities were divided into Wii Fit (n = 15, 9 therapy sessions using Wii Fit balance board) and control (n = 13) groups. All participants performed three different stances on force plates, which are considered the gold standard for measuring balance performance. Each stance was measured three times in the following sequence: a natural bipedal stance with eyes open, a bipedal stance with a narrow base, and a natural bipedal stance with eyes closed. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and LSD Fisher’s post hoc tests were used with the level of significance set at 5%. Effect size was determined using ŋ². The results showed a significant difference in the centre of pressure velocity in the anterior-posterior direction between the baseline and post-treatment measurements (post-intervention and follow up) for all measured conditions in Wii Fit Group. The control group did not show any significant differences between measurements. The results of this study suggest that using the Nintendo Wii is an effective physical activity for improving balance in the elderly and that the effects of balance therapy on postural stability persist for several weeks after intervention
