Distorted; Balance Clinical Trial
Official title:
Does Wii Fit Balance Training Significantly Improve Standing Balance Compared to Traditional Balance Training and Is Wii Fit Balance Training Preferred Over Traditional Balance Training by Patients With SCI/TBI/CVA?
Our hypothesis is the investigators will find a significant advantage for the use of a virtual reality system like the Wii Fit to improve overall balance scores versus the use of traditional balance activities alone. The objectives will be to determine the enjoyment of these types of gaming activities through the use of a survey to support the hypothesis that these activities are more enjoyable than traditional activities and to gather evidence to support the use of these more enjoyable activities as a viable and needed addition to the overall balance regimen given in the plan of care for a patient with traumatic or acquired brain injury, stroke or spinal cord injury.

Primary | WiiFit | For standing balance we will be using the Berg Balance Scale and Single Leg Stance. The investigators will also be looking at weight bearing symmetry utilizing the intrinsic tests included with the Nintendo Wii Fit ™ Measurements will be taken at baseline (pre-intervention), and at conclusion of each intervention phase (after 2 weeks of traditional balance therapy and then again after 2 weeks of training using the Nintendo Wii Fit ™) |
Before and after two consecutive 2 week periods: one period without intervention, one with | No |
Secondary | Satisfaction | For patient preferences in intervention we will be using the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory. | Post Intervention (at conclusion of two 2 week trials) | No |
