|
Objective : The purpose of this study is to inquire into the effects of image training on balance if it was to be applied to patients with a brainstem tumor which is one of several central nervous system( CNS) disorders.
Methods : The current study employs the AB design on one subject five times per week, a total of twenty, over a period of eleven weeks from November 2010, January 2011, who is suspected to have difficulty maintaining static balance. Imaginary training outcomes were determined using Tetrax and BBS.
Results : (1) Using BBS, 36.4, 41.25 and 35.6 points were obtained for baseline, treatment and follow- up after six weeks respectively. (2) During Tetrax testing, NC exhibited 26.74, 23.44 and 21.55 points, PO exhibited 19.09, 17.09 and 19.94 points, PC exhibited 74.21, 48.58 and 53.48 points, and HL exhibited 28.04, 24.69 and 26.4 points for baseline, treatment and follow-up after six weeks respectively.
Conclusion : As a result of this study, it can be concluded that imaginary training could have influence on balance. Therefore, patients` activities of daily living will become more efficient if imaginary training does have positive effects on balance.
