6 ABSTRACT Title: Effect of biofeedback on stability, coordination and activation of patients after spi- nal stabilization using Hunova Movendo posturographic device Aims: The aim of this thesis was to introduce the Hunova Movendo posturographic de- vice and to validate its benefits in increasing stability by comparing outcome measures. The secondary aim was to evaluate the therapy from the probands' perspective. Methods. First, all selected probands underwent an initial interview and an initial postural stability examination using the Hunova Movendo device, which measured changes in body position values. The training intervention with visual feedback was conducted for a total of six weeks, specifically every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In the third week of training, a follow-up examination was conducted to assess the improvement or deteri- oration of the results, and also to motivate all probands. At the end of the six-week inter- vention, an exit examination was conducted and probands were given a five-question subjective questionnaire to complete. The effectiveness of the treatment was compared through the entry and exit examination data from the first and last week of the interven- tion. Results: At the end of the six-week program using proprioceptive training with visual feedback on the Hunova...
