Wii FIT Balance Board to Recording Balance Parameters in Multiple

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Balance disorders are frequently observed in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and the deterioration of the static and dynamic control of balance is an important and basic symptom of disease progression.

Measure balance disorders with force platforme requires personnel and represent a significant cost.

The platform Nintendo Wii Fit represents a valid economic alternative

Clinical Trial Description

Balance disorders are frequently observed in patients with MS and are the most disabling symptoms; in subjects with moderate disabilities for balance, the deterioration of the static and dynamic control of balance is an important and basic symptom of disease progression.

From a clinical point of view, the reliability of being able to discriminate patients who have the highest probability of falling than those with lower probability is crucial to develop a program aimed at the prevention of falls.

Potentially the parameters measured wiht torque platform can be an objective, reliable and accurate for discriminating patients with the highest probability of falling than those with low probability, and may be useful to highlight the deficits and improvements in the ability to maintain balance after specific rehabilitation. However posturographic systems represent a significant cost, require a dedicated and qualified personnel to use. A possible solution to not use force platforms could be the implementation of software to interface with the Nintendo Wii Fit Balance Board (WBB) with a personal computer.

The platform Nintendo Wii Fit presents a set of sensors lower compared to a traditional force platform, but can represent a valid economic alternative to more complex systems, in addition to being already used as a rehabilitation tool in the literature in more than one study. Studies in healthy subjects have valid information on the study of the center of pressure (COP) obtained from WBB showing that the path lengths of the COP obtained from the WBB were valid and well correlated with those recorded by a dynamometric platform. ;

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.
