Avaliação do equilíbrio postural de indivíduos com acidente vascular cerebral por meio de um equipamento de baixo custo: um estudo transversal

Abstract

Introduction: The Vascular Accident Summary is a functional commitment. The use of technologies such as virtual reality (VR), power platforms and games has been used to assess value. Due to its high cost and low portability, the development of low-cost equipment is suggested. Objective: To assess the balance of resources with stroke through a low-cost device and to correlate its results with clinical scales. Method: This is an observational and cross-sectional study with post-stroke patients from the Clínica School of Physioterapy FACISA/UFRN. In the clinical evaluation, the Mini Mental State Examination, Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Fugl-Meyer Physical Performance Scale and platform adjustment were used. Low-cost, named GameBalance, developed by the study's collaborators. Results: 10 participants with a median age of 63.50 years, of both sexes, were evaluated, being 6 with left hemiparesis and 5 of ischemic origin. Two were excluded from the study for not meeting the inclusion criteria. There was a significant, negative and strong proof between the Gamebalance-NPG – Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and a negative proof between the Gamebalance-TEMPO-seg with the Gamebalance-NPG. Conclusion: The present study showed the functioning and low-cost treatment system (platform and patients) for evaluation of low-cost (platform and patients) and low-cost stroke treatment system. In addition, with the development of collaboration from another non-federal institution and construction of equipment that have mechanisms, the study can improve the adaptation of patients to estimates and treatments.
