Abstract：
To investigate and compare the effectiveness of Nintendo Wii games and home exercises on balance functions in patients with osteoporosis, an important disease adversely affecting balance functions. The patients included in the study were randomized into two groups the Wii exercise group (n = 30) and the home exercise group (n = 30). Wii exercise group performed balance exercises with a Nintendo Wii device and balance board three times a week for 12 weeks under the supervision of a physiotherapist in the hospital, and home exercise group was prescribed home exercises three days a week for 12 weeks. Balance functions were evaluated with the timed up-and-go-test and Berg Balance Scale, and the fall risk was evaluated with the Falls Efficacy Scale at the beginning and end of 12 weeks of treatment. Comparison of pre- and post-treatment timed up-and-go-test, Berg Balance Scale, and Falls Efficacy Scale results in both groups revealed statistically significant improvements (p = 0.001; p < 0.05). Furthermore, post-treatment test scores between the two groups demonstrated a significant enhancement in Wii exercise group regarding the Berg Balance Scale score (Mean ± SD 52.9 ± 3.63) (p = 0.001; p < 0.05). Within the osteoporotic population, balance functions serve as robust predictors of fall risk. Improvement in balance functions is crucial for the prevention of falls and subsequent osteoporotic fractures. In our study, we found that balance exercises performed with Wii games are effective in improving balance functions in patients with osteoporosis.
摘要：
探讨和比较任天堂Wii游戏和家庭锻炼对骨质疏松患者平衡功能的影响,一种影响平衡功能的重要疾病。纳入研究的患者被随机分为两组：Wii运动组（n=30）和家庭运动组（n=30）。wii运动小组在医院理疗师的监督下,用任天堂wii设备和平衡板每周进行三次平衡练习,持续12周,家庭锻炼组规定每周三天进行12周的家庭锻炼。平衡功能用定时向上测试和Berg平衡量表进行评估，并在12周治疗开始和结束时使用跌倒疗效量表评估跌倒风险。治疗前和治疗后定时上行和上行测试的比较，Berg平衡量表,两组的跌倒功效量表结果显示有统计学意义的改善（p=0.001；p<0.05）。此外，两组之间的治疗后测试得分在Wii运动组的Berg平衡量表得分方面显着提高（Mean±SD52.9±3.63）（p=0.001；p<0.05）。在骨质疏松人群中，平衡函数是跌倒风险的稳健预测因子。平衡功能的改善对于预防跌倒和随后的骨质疏松性骨折至关重要。在我们的研究中,我们发现，使用Wii游戏进行的平衡练习可有效改善骨质疏松症患者的平衡功能。
