Abstract

: Body awareness therapy has been hypothesized as an effective program for maintaining balance and improving gait function in patients with neurological diseases. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of recent studies in a systematic way to confirm its efficacy on stroke survivors. The objective of this review was to synthesize the current evidence on the effectiveness of body awareness therapy on balance and gait function in stroke survivors. A comprehensive search of PubMed, CINAHL, AMED, PEDro, EMBASE, REHABDATA Database, and Scopus was done to identify randomized controlled trials of body awareness therapy in individuals with stroke. The PEDro scale was used to evaluate the methodological quality of included trials. The primary outcome measures of this review were the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Due to varying included trials, meta-analysis was not carried out. Nine randomized controlled trials with 332 patients were analyzed. Body awareness therapy exhibited a moderate confirmation to better balance and gait function of stroke survivors. Body awareness therapy could be a well-founded rehabilitative intervention and might support enhanced balance and gait function of individuals with stroke.
脑卒中幸存者身体意识治疗的有效性:随机对照试验的系统评价
身体意识疗法被假设为神经系统疾病患者维持平衡和改善步态功能的有效方案。然而,最近缺乏系统的研究来证实其对中风幸存者的疗效。本综述的目的是综合目前关于身体意识疗法对中风幸存者平衡和步态功能的有效性的证据。我们对PubMed、CINAHL、AMED、PEDro、EMBASE、REHABDATA数据库和Scopus进行了全面的检索,以确定中风患者身体意识治疗的随机对照试验。PEDro量表用于评价纳入试验的方法学质量。本综述的主要结局指标为10米步行测试(10MWT)和Berg平衡量表(BBS)。由于纳入试验不同,未进行meta分析。对9项随机对照试验332例患者进行分析。身体意识疗法对中风幸存者的平衡和步态功能有较好的改善。身体意识疗法可能是一种有充分依据的康复干预,可能支持增强中风患者的平衡和步态功能。
