Tratamiento y valoración del equilibrio mediante estabilometría en jugador de baloncesto en silla de ruedas. A propósito de un caso

This study evaluates the possible improvement on the balance of a paraplegic patient (D5 complete traumatic injury of spinal cord), who plays basketball, through training on a balance platform. One of the main purposes of this study is the improvement of balance of the patient on the wheelchair to get a better performance on his game, improve control of torso, in both lateral and anterior posterior axis and also stability of the scapular girdle. Results shows improvement of balance after treatment, though, with open eyes only. This data could lead us to the following conclussion: stabilometry does improve visual inputs, stepping up lost of propioceptive inputs. We propose the usage of a working system that allows balance improvement and also provides objective and quantifiable data of such improvement.
