Exercise can help to improve health, strengthen vitality and prevent brain disease, especially for the elderly. Exercise games, or exergames, which combine both exercise and video gaming, train people in a fun and competitive manner to lead a healthy lifestyle. Exergames promote more physical effort and have the potential to contribute to physical education. This research presents a full-body virtual reality exercise game called the Chongchong Step Master, which is designed to improve gait and balance function and prevent dementia in the elderly. This system used Kinect sensors to accurately recognize the user’s body movements and the stepping board mat to recognize and guide the user’s walking motion. It aims to help the elderly exercise more easily and independently with the virtual physical trainer.

A male patient in his 40s was transferred to our hospital for rehabilitation of ataxia after right cerebellar and brainstem infarction. After 3 weeks of conventional physical therapy, his activities of daily life successfully improved with an increase in the functional impedance measure from 101 to 124. However, he still fell short of gaining a higher level of balance function, which was necessary for his job as a standup forklift driver. We introduced virtual reality-guided balance training. The training was performed for approximately 40 min on weekdays for 2 weeks. As a result, the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia score decreased from 5 to 1, Functional Balance Scale score improved from 48 to 56, and Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test score increased from 20 to 28. The trunk sway disappeared clinically. He regained confidence and returned to work after an additional 2 weeks of physical therapy.

The treatment and rehabilitation of elderly patients with hypertension is often hampered by their existing geriatric syndromes of senileasthenia and the risk of falls. Stabilometric balance training will allow to maintain the level of physical functioning and supporting theautonomy of this category of patients. Aim. To assess the possibilities of using stabilometric training with biofeedback to correct the risk of falls in patients aged 63 and olderwith arterial hypertension. Material and methods. On the basis of the geriatric department of the Regional Budgetary Institution of Health «Ivanovo ClinicalHospital named after Kuvaevi» conducted an open study involving 95 patients aged 63 to 92 years with arterial hypertension andfalling syndrome, diagnosed according to the results of the physical activity tests brief battery. Balance indicators were obtained whenexamining patients on a stabilometric complex concurrently with a five-day training «Restoring balance». Results. According to the stabilometrical data of all patients with hypertension and the risk of falling, a typical symptom complex ofthe main stance instability was revealed. After the training, improvement in quantitative indicators and in the balance function wererecorded in 70% of patients. Conclusion. The inclusion of stabilometrical training in the treatment and rehabilitation complex of hypertensive patients with senileasthenia syndromes and the risk of falling improves balance indicators in elderly and senile people.

Background. Personal degrees of motor activity frequently is a determining factor of human health and longevity. A sedentary lifestyle is a precondition for the development of many diseases and adversely affect the harmonious physical development of a person. The result of poor physical fitness is reduced movement coordination and the balance function, which can cause falls and injuries. Today, it is not always possible for healthy people of working age and adolescents to organize physical education events, however, modern rehabilitation technologies can serve as a solution to this issue. Aims analysis of the effectiveness of balance training physical exercises performed in a virtual environment, in people with low physical fitness. Methods. In the experimental group, a set of physical exercises were performed in a virtual environment, in the control group in a real environment with additionally created pedagogical conditions aimed at the position of greater instability using gymnastic pads of different stiffness, and foam material bar. Results. The study involved 20 female volunteers (aged 16 to 17 years), who were divided into two equal groups, comparable in age (р 0.05). A statistical analysis of the data obtained at the end of the training course showed that experimental and control groups in the maximum torso deviation in the Romberg instrumental test (p = 0.11) when standing on toes with eyes closed (p = 0.24), and the stability time in the Bondarevsky test (p = 0.07) are no longer significantly different. Conclusions. Performing physical exercises with visual support for biological feedback in a virtual reality system can contribute to the intensification of the learning process, have a beneficial effect on the prevention of a sedentary lifestyle, and also contribute to the training of the balance function, as one of the most important human abilities that determine its motor capabilities.
