Evaluation of the effect of rehabilitation using visual biofeedback for patients after vestibular schwannoma resection
Jandová, Nikola ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Chovanec, Martin (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effect of rehabilitation with visual biofeedback at acute stage after vestibular schwannoma surgery and to evaluate if preoperative intratympanic aplication of gentamicin has influence on vestibular compensation of standing stability. The study was attended by 20 patients (12 women and 8 men) in the age from 28 to 63 years. Eight patients had vestibular schwannoma diagnosed in their left side, twelve in the right side. Rehabilitation program using interactive rehabilitation system Homebalance took place from the 5th postoperative day until hospital discharge, daily 15 to 20 min. To evaluate of therapeutic intervention objectively the device Synapsys Posturography System was used. Stabilometric examination was done before operation of vestibular schwannoma, after operation and after termination of rehabilitation with visual biofeedback. Statistic analysis showed significant increase of mean values of measured parameters CoP (sway velocity CoP, length of trajectory of CoP, area of the confidence ellipse CoP) postoperatively compared to preoperative values. After termination of therapeutic intervention there was any significant decrease of values of parameters CoP compared to postoperative status. Between group of patients with preoperative aplication of...
Objective evaluation of effect of therapy: Stereo Balance
Jandová, Nikola ; Janatová, Markéta (advisor) ; Jeníček, Jakub (referee)
This thesis concentrates an objective evaluation of therapy based on the principle of sensorimotor stimulation. The objectivity is aided by the use of the stabilometric platform Wii Balance Board and diagnostical and therapeutical Stereo Balance software. The aim is to demonstrate the positive effect of therapy on the state of postural stability in patients with brain damage and to evaluate possibility of using the Stereo Balance system as an objective evaluation of therapy. In this thesis two patients have been studied. The monitoring of stability parameters was done with the aid of the Stereo Balance system. Subsequently, analysis and interpretation was provided by tables and graphs. A stabilometric platform - the Wii Balance Board and Physio Fun software - was used for the additional assesment of postural stability. The transfer of acquired skills by therapeutic interventions in ordinary daily activities was monitored by testing the Functional Independence Measure. Key words: Stereo Balance, stabilometric platform Wii Balance Board, stabilometric examination, brain damage, postural stability, sensorimotor stimulation
