Wearable Devices for Biofeedback Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis to Design Application Rules and Estimate the Effectiveness on Balance and Gait Outcomes in Neurological Diseases.

摘要: Wearable devices are used in rehabilitation to provide biofeedback about biomechanical or physiological body parameters improve outcomes people with neurological diseases. This is a promising approach that influences motor learning and patients' engagement. Nevertheless, it not yet clear what the most commonly sensor configurations are, also which components for pathology. To explore these aspects estimate effectiveness of wearable device on balance gait, we conducted systematic review by electronic search MEDLINE, PubMed, Web Science, PEDro, Cochrane CENTRAL from inception January 2020. Nineteen randomized controlled trials were included (Parkinson's n = 6; stroke 13; mild cognitive impairment 1). mostly provided real-time during exercise, using sensors positive reinforcement feedback strategy through auditory visual modes. Some notable points could be improved identified studies; helpful providing practical design rules maximize prospective rehabilitation. Due current quality literature, was possible achieve firm conclusions However, seems effects dynamic gait PwND, but higher-quality RCTs larger sample sizes needed stronger conclusions.
