Providing balance in vertical position after ischemic stroke

Abstract

Ischemic changes of the function of balance are characterized by an increase in the projected area of the center and the center of pressure displacement speed. Changes in peripheral blood flow to maintain balance affects mainly the frontal plane. Changing the regulation of vascular tone in the chain of peripheral blood flow affects the performance of dynamic balance, resulting in a reduction of the integral index of the balance function. The brain ischemic death in Russia occupies the third position. As a result, the rehabilitation period after an ischemic stroke can disrupt the social and economic well-being of patients and their close relatives. One of the main consequences of stroke are violations of limb mobility (paresis, paralysis). Their degree can be reduced with the help of rehabilitation measures intended to revive the motor function of paralyzed limbs and to train a patient to remain firm upright. A stabilographic rehabilitation training apparatus with biofeedback represents one of the variants of the posture training. Stabilization rehabilitation simulator with biofeedback is one of the options for training the posture. This exercise in a playful way helps the patient improve balance performance and durability of the vertical position. The method of rehabilitation significantly improved the clinical and stabilographic parameters of the patients' balance and elasticity functions in comparison with patients whose programs did not include this method.
