Abstract

The aim of the research was to assess physical therapy effect using TRX equipment for patients after brain injuries, on balance and coordination. There were 30 respondents in this research. All of them with the easy level of brain injuries by using Glasgow coma scale. 10 females and 20 males, the age 19 - 64 years old, the average - 39,6±12,9 years. The coordination was assessed with no balance needed coordination scale by Schmitz. Balance using balance scale by Berg. The quality of life was assessed by using SF-36 questionnaire. Muscle strength by manual muscle strength scale by Lovett. Mathematical and statistical data analysis, using Microsoft Excel 2007 software package and SPSS 21.0. Data were statistically significant if p<0,05. The research lasted 15 days and consisted of daily training for 30-40 minutes. All respondents had two testing sessions, one before the first physical therapy with TRX class, and second after the last physical therapy with TRX class. Glasgow coma scale results showed that point ratio between the two groups was statistically insignificant (p>0,05). The mean of the study group points (14,7±0,45) was bigger than that of the control group (14,3±0,70). The muscle power results between two groups were s...Continue Reading
