Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Movement Science

Background:

  • Balance impairment is a significant challenge for stroke survivors, impacting mobility and independence.
  • Traditional balance assessments like the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) provide valuable clinical insights but lack quantitative kinematic data.
  • Objective measurement of postural sway is crucial for understanding balance deficits and guiding rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the correlation between the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the acceleration of postural sway measured during the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance (CTSIB).
  • To evaluate the utility of a triaxial accelerometer for quantitative assessment of balance in stroke patients.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-seven stroke patients underwent balance assessment using the BBS.
  • Postural sway was quantitatively measured using a triaxial accelerometer during various CTSIB conditions.
  • Data were analyzed for frequency and correlation using statistical software (SPSS 18.0).

Main Results:

  • Significant correlations were observed between BBS scores and acceleration in the left-right and forward-backward directions across all CTSIB conditions.
  • Signal Vector Magnitude (SVM) acceleration values in CTSIB condition 3 showed a significant correlation with BBS scores.
  • Quantitative kinematic analysis of postural sway acceleration effectively represented balance ability.

Conclusions:

  • Postural sway, when measured as acceleration via kinematic analysis, serves as a reliable indicator of balance ability in stroke patients.
  • A triaxial accelerometer is a viable and effective tool for quantitative balance assessment in clinical settings.
  • This technology can complement traditional balance measures, offering objective data for patient evaluation and treatment planning.
