Robotik Denge Cihazının Geliştirilmesi ve Klinik Doğrulama Çalışmaları

Abstract

Börü, A. Development of Robotic Balance Device and Clinical Validation Studies. Hacettepe University, Graduate School of Health Sciences, Audiology and Speech Disorders Program, Ph.D. Thesis, Ankara, 2021. In tihis study, it was intended to do the clinical validation of “Robotic Balance System” which improved in Turkey with Neurocom® Computerized Dynamic Posturography by comparing the measurement and evaluation parameters. 29 volunteers who met the inclusion criteria participated in the study. Tests applied to the participants on both devices; Adaptation Test, Stability Limit Test, Rhythmic Weight Transfer Test, Sensory Organization Test, Unilateral Stance Test, Squatting Weight Bearing Test. While comparing the results that we obtained from the two devices; Sensory Organization Test VIS (p = 0.001), Sensory Organization Test VEST (p = 0.001), Adaptation Test (p = 0.001), fast and slow speed results of the anterior-posterior direction, average and slow velocity results of the right-left lateral direction, the linear control results of the anterior-posterior-lateral directions, which are the axis velocity results of Rhythmic Weight Transfer Test, the results of both eyes closed and opened positions on each foot of Unilateral Stance Test (p = 0.001), The Weight Bearing/Squat Test, the right foot 0 °, 30 ° , 90°, left foot 0 °, 30 °, 60 °, 90 ° results (p <0.05), Limits of Stability Test for all directions (rear, front, right, rear right, front right, left, left rear, front left) linear control results (p <0.05), Limits of Stability Test posterior movement velocity result (p <0.05), Limits of Stability Test maximum deviation results of rear, right, rear right and. left directions (p <0.05), we saw that there differences. It is believed that the Robotic Balance System, which cannot be clinically verified, needs to be improved with its technical and software processes and cannot be equivalent to NeuroCom® Computed Dynamic Posturography
