Effect of Interactive Somatic Game Kinect on Lower Limbs Rehabilitation after Stroke
Abstract： Objective To observe the effect of interactive somatic game Kinect on motor of lower limbs and balance function in patients with stroke. Methods 40 inpatients were divided into experimental group (n=20) and control group (n=20). All the patients received routine rehabilitations, while the experimental group received the interactive game Kinect in addition. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer assess-ment of lower limb (FMA) and Berg balance scale (BBS) before and after intervention. Results The scores of flexor synergy, extensor syner-gy, movement combining synergies (in sitting), lower limb total score of FMA, and the score of BBS increased more in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05) after intervention. Conclusion The interactive somatic game Kinect can further improve the motor of lower limb and balance function of patients with stroke.
