Objectivo: Sumariar a atual evidência acerca da efectividade da Nintendo Wii® com a Balance Board® na prevenção de quedas nos idosos. Metodologia: Pesquisa computorizada nas bases de dados PubMed/Medline, PEDro e BASE, para identificar estudos randomizados controlados que demostrassem a efectividade da Nintendo Wii® com a Balance Board® na prevenção de quedas nos idosos. Resultados: Foram incluídos 5 artigos envolvendo 952 indivíduos com media aritmética na classificação metodológica de 8 na escala de PEDro. Dos artigos mencionados nesta revisão 3 demostraram a efectividade da Nintendo Wii® com Balance Board® no tratamento do equilíbrio, 1 compara o treino da Nintendo Wii® com a Balance Board® com um programa de exercícios de estabilização lombar e o quinto analiza os efeitos do treino de equilíbrio na Nintendo Wii® com a Balance Board® e qualquer melhoria no mesmo treino, mas adicionando suplementos proteicos ou Iso energéticos. Dos 5 estudos só 1 não relata melhorias estatisticamente significativas. Conclusão: Parece haver concordância da maioria dos estudos acerca da efectividade da Nintendo Wii® com a Balance Board® na prevenção de quedas nos idosos.
Objective: Summarise current evidence on the efficiency of Nintendo Wii® with Balance Board® of risk of falling prevention in older adults. Methods: Computerised research on PubMed/Medline, PEDro, and Base databases for the identification of randomised controlled studies that demonstrate the effectiveness both of Nintendo Wii® and Balance Board® on the treatment of balance in elderly subjects with balance deficits, and fear of falling. Results: Five articles involving 952 individuals with arithmetic average were included in the methodological classification of 8 on the PEDro scale. From the articles mentioned in this review, three of them seek to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Nintendo Wii® in treating balance. The fourth one instead, compares the Nintendo Wii® training with a lumbar stabilisation program, while the fifth one analysis the impact of a Nintendo Wii® balance training - or any improvements on the same workout - by adding protein or isoenergetic supplementation. Conclusions: All studies have agreed on the effectiveness of the Nintendo Wii® training for the treatment of healthy older adults with balance deficits and fear of falling, except for 1 of the article which shows no significant statistical improvement.
