| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the BBD as a new rehabilitation tool for subjects with a failure of balance activity. This study included 11 subjects with bilateral vestibular loss such as vestibular neuritis and acoustic nerve resection. All subjects had BBD training in the Romberg or Tandem-Romberg position with eyes open or closed and underwent two or three 5-20 minutes sessions per day corresponding to the patient’s skill level for 8 weeks. The training with BrainPort balance device produced an improvement in balance and functional activities in patients with intractable chronic balance dysfunction due to vestibular balance deficit. These results suggest that alternative sensory input through the tongue substitutes for vestibular function and facilitate the brain plasticity.
