BioTrak: análisis de efectividad y satisfacción de un sistema de realidad virtual para la rehabilitación del equilibrio en pacientes con daño cerebral

Resumen Objetivo Estudio de efectividad y satisfaccion de un sistema de realidad virtual (BioTrak) para la rehabilitacion del equilibrio en pacientes con dano cerebral adquirido (DCA). Material y metodos Diez pacientes con una hemiparesia cronica (> 6 meses) como secuela de un DCA participaron en un programa de 20 sesiones con el modulo de equilibrio mediante alcances del sistema BioTrak. Todos los pacientes fueron valorados al inicio, al final del tratamiento y un mes despues de finalizar el mismo con la Berg Balance Scale (BBS) y la Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA), asi como mediante la posturografia dinamometrica computarizada NedSVE/IBV. El estudio posturografico incluyo el analisis de indices sensoriales, del desplazamiento ritmico del peso, asi como de los limites de estabilidad. El estudio de usabilidad se realizo mediante un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc. Resultados Un ANOVA de medidas repetidas mostro una mejora significativa en BBS (p  Conclusion Nuestros resultados confirman la validez de los sistemas de realidad virtual para la rehabilitacion del equilibrio en esta poblacion. Las caracteristicas de usabilidad del sistema BioTrak permite la generalizacion del sistema a un alto numero de pacientes y entornos.
