|
Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate balance score changes of repeated measurements of stroke patients who received visual perception training using Dynavision 2000.
Methods : As a single subject research design, the participants were five stroke patients with visual percep-tion deficits and poor balance. The employed program included receiving visual perception training using Dynavision 2000, and measuring balance score changes using Tetrax for 6 weeks, including baseline and in-tervention periods. The subjects’ visual perception, activity of daily living skills, and repeated Tetrax meas-urements for balance ability were analyzed. The analyses were performed visually and using SPSS including the Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test.
Results : During the intervention periods, the participants improved their standing balance as well as in-creased their visual perception and activity of daily living skills. Their improved balance skills continued during the follow-up period. Statistically significant differences were found in changes of balance and activ-ities of daily living skills.
Conclusion : Visual perception training using Dynavision 2000 can be an effective method to improve the balance and activities of daily living skills of stroke patients.
