Impact of the Use of a Weighted Jacket on the Balance of Patients With a Balance Disorder.

Balance; Distorted Clinical Trial

Official title:
Impact of the Use of a Weighted Jacket on the Balance (While Walking or Standing) of Patients With a Balance Disorder.

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to test whether wearing a weighted jacket can help improve the balance distortion of patients with neurologic pathologies.

The center of mass of the patient will be analyzed in order to determine the direction in which the imbalance is most important. Weights will be placed accordingly in a jacket in order to correct the imbalance. In the experimental group, weights will represent 1.5 to 2% of the patient body mass. In the control group, the investigators will use weights of 200 grams maximum, placed evenly on both sides of the jacket. Patients will wear the jacket for 2 consecutive hours.

After wearing the jacket for 2 hours, data similar to those recorded at the beginning of the experiment will be taken again, namely the determination of the center of mass and of the deviations caused by the imbalance.

A final series of tests will take place approximately one week after wearing the jacket, to determine if there are any residual effects.
