Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study was to describe the changes in the postural stabilisation, quality of life, cognitive functions and behaviour of patients with paranoid schizophrenia who have undergone the Snoezelen therapy and the auctorial sensorimotor exercise program.

Methods: The study was conducted on 55 patients aged 55 to 75 years. Group S underwent therapy in the Snoezelen room for nine weeks, group ES underwent the Snoezelen therapy and were also subjected to auctorial sensorimotor exercise programme, and group C were not given any therapeutic intervention. The Biosway portable balance system, the Berg Balance Scale, Tinetti Test and the Timed Up & Go Test were used to evaluate the effects of the therapy.

Results: In group ES, statistically significant changes were observed in all tested indicators; in group S such changes were observed in the Limit of Stability test, Tinetti Test and TUG test; while in group C, no statistically significant changes were found.

Conclusions: The Snoezelen therapy had a significant impact on changes in postural control rations and a reduced risk of falls. The auctorial sensorimotor exercise programme increased the impact of the Snoezelen room on postural stability measured using the Biosway platform and the risk of falls assessed using the TUG test.

Snoezelen方法对偏执型精神分裂症患者姿势稳定性和跌倒风险的影响。

目的：本研究的目的是描述偏执狂型精神分裂症患者在接受Snoezelen治疗和作者感觉运动锻炼计划后的姿势稳定性、生活质量、认知功能和行为的变化。方法：55例患者，年龄55 ~ 75岁。S组在Snoezelen室治疗9周，ES组在接受Snoezelen治疗的同时进行自我感觉运动训练，C组不进行任何治疗干预。使用Biosway便携式平衡系统、Berg平衡量表、Tinetti测试和Timed Up & Go测试来评估治疗效果。结果：ES组各指标变化均有统计学意义；S组的极限稳定性试验、Tinetti试验和TUG试验均观察到上述变化；而C组无统计学差异。结论：Snoezelen治疗对改变体位控制能力和降低跌倒风险有显著影响。作者的感觉运动锻炼计划增加了Snoezelen房间对使用Biosway平台测量的姿势稳定性和使用TUG测试评估的跌倒风险的影响。
