Stroke Clinical Trial - Comparison of The Effects of Virtual Balance

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The study aimed to assess the effects of a virtual balance training program using the Thera-Trainer Balo (TTB) device along with conservative rehabilitation program on the clinical findings; standing, stepping, walking and balance measures; and activities of daily living in patients with stroke.

Clinical Trial Description

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Approximately 71% of stroke cases occur as a result of ischemic infarcts. Most survivors of stroke experience gait and balance disorders that increase the risk of falling. It has been shown that the functional recovery of patients with stroke is adversely affected and length of hospital stay during the rehabilitation program, particularly in those with severe balance disorders. Virtual reality technologies are currently employed to accelerate functional recovery in patients. A total of 30 patients were included in the study. The patients were randomized into two groups with 15 patients in each group by simple randomization. Group 1 received the conservative rehabilitation program, whereas Group 2 received a balance training program using the Thera-Trainer Balo (TTB) device along with the conservative rehabilitation program. Patient information regarding the age, gender, hemiplegic side, stroke duration, and type of ischemia were recorded. The stage of motor recovery according to Brunnstrom, spasticity based on the modified Ashworth scale, ambulation ability based on the Functional Ambulation Scale (FAS), quality of life based on the Short Form-36 (SF-36) scale, and balance-coordination status based on the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were assessed at the beginning of the treatment and at the endpoint of the 8 week treatment. Moreover, evaluations were made with static and dynamic postural stability tests. The study aimed to assess the effects of a virtual balance training program using the Thera-Trainer Balo (TTB) device along with conservative rehabilitation program on the clinical findings; standing, stepping, walking and balance measures; and activities of daily living in patients with stroke. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
