Summary

Balance impairment is one of the most common disorders due to a neurological diseases. Sensor-based technologies may be useful for falls prevention and balance recovery during patients hospitalization. OAK Elderly Care System (Khymeia Group, Noventa Padovana, Italy) allows the assessment of fall risk, the centre of pressure and the execution of balance exercises in a virtual environment.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Experimental Group

The experimental treatment will be provided by means of the OAK system. This device consists of 1 cabinet with 2 independent balance boards, 2 monitors (one for the physiotherapist and one for the patient) and 3 wireless IMUs (one for the left lower limb, one for the right lower limb and one for the trunk). The 2 balance boards provide body weight transfer exercises, while the wireless motion sensors provide one leg stance exercises or trunk exercises in a virtual environment.

OTHER

Control Group

The Control Group will perform conventional balance exercises similar to the exercises provided with the OAK system.
