Introdução: Várias são as estratégias usadas na reabilitação pós Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE) sendo a realidade virtual uma das mais recentes apostas. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar, juntamente à fisioterapia convencional, qual o efeito da plataforma Wii, através da Wii FitTM e da Balance Board, na reabilitação de pacientes pós-AVE, no equilíbrio, função motora, cognitiva, independência funcional, entre outros dados fornecidos pela consola, como Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) e centro de massa (CM). Metodologia: 4 pacientes com AVE divididos em dois grupos, um grupo de controlo (fisioterapia convencional) e o outro experimental (30 min fisioterapia mais 30 min Wii FitTM), 2x/semana, durante 4 semanas. Foi realizada uma avaliação no início e uma reavaliação no fim quanto ao equilíbrio, função motora, cognição, independência funcional, IMC e CM. Resultados: Verificaram-se ligeiras melhorias no equilíbrio e no centro de massa, no entanto nenhuma das variáveis analisadas neste estudo obtiveram diferenças significativas nos dois grupos. Conclusão: A plataforma Wii aparenta ser uma tecnologia promissora na reabilitação de pacientes pós-AVE, no entanto mais estudos serão necessários.
Introduction: There are several strategies used on stroke rehabilitation and virtual reality is one of the newest. The aim of this study was to analyse if the conventional physiotherapy (CP) with the Wii FitTM and the Balance Board was effective on balance, motor function, cognition, function independence, among others data that are given by Wii, such us Body Mass Index (BMI) and gravitational centre (GC). Methods: Four patients with stroke were divided in two groups, one of (CP) and the other experimental (30 min of physiotherapy and 30 min of WiiTM therapy), two times per week, by 4 weeks. Firstly an evaluation was made at the beginning of the study and a re-evaluation on the end about balance, motor function, cognition, function independence, BMI and GC. Results: It was possible to see slight improvements on the balance and GC, however none of the variables analysed in this study had significant differences on the two groups. Conclusion: Wii seems to be a promising technology on the fields of rehabilitation of stroke patients however more studies are needed.
