Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Perturbation training
Session1 - baseline assessment (detailed above) Session2 - 13 - each session will begin with reassessment and documentation of balance tutor parameters for each participant as were calibrated at the end of previous session.
After reassessment the training program will include:
* Warm up - walking without perturbation.
* Perturbation during standing position.
* Perturbation during walking.
* Perturbation during tandem position.
* Perturbation with vestibular stimulation.
* Rest according to patient needs The relative duration of each component, as well as intensity and frequency of perturbations, will be adjusted to each individual according to his ability, reassessment parameters and progression.
Session14 - full reassessment of all baseline examinations including: Mini-BESTest, ABC scale, PASE, and number of falls.
Balance Tutor Biofeedback Rehabilitation System
Balance Tutor system is a unique technology which allows for several postural control ability assessments as well as reactive response training in both standing and walking using controlled perturbation in simple task or multitask performance. Together with proactive training the system allows for optimal rehabilitation outcome and recovery
Balance and strengthening exercise
Session1 - baseline assessment (detailed above).
Session2 - 13 - each session will include:
* Warm up (free walking or cycling).
* Static balance exercise - standing position. Exercise will be performed using different bases of support (narrow, tandem, and one leg stance), eyes open/closed, unstable surfaces, functional and cognitive dual task, and vestibular stimulation.
* Dynamic balance exercise - walking position. Exercise will be performed using different bases of support (narrow, tandem, and one leg stance), eyes open/closed, unstable surfaces, functional and cognitive dual task, and vestibular stimulation.
* Strengthening exercise - general strengthening, particularly for lower limb.
* Cool down. Level of difficulty and duration of each component will be adjusted to each individual according to his ability and progression.
Session14 - full reassessment of all baseline examinations including: Mini-BESTest, ABC scale, PASE, and number of falls.
