The effect of sensory-motor training on balance function in adult women using rhythmic auditory stimulation and sonic vibration

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of additional sensory stimulation on balance by combining sensory-motor training with sonic vibration that helps balance the development of muscles and auditory stimulation that improves motor performance. Method: Twenty women drew lots and were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. Both group performed 40 minutes per session, once in the morning and once in the afternoon five times a week for four weeks. Results: The stability index and the weight distribution index showed siginificant differences in the experimental group(EG) compared to the control group(CG). There was a siginificant difference in the EG(NO, NC, PO) and the CG(PO, HL) the A % weight distribution. B %, there was a siginificant difference in the EG(NO) and the CG(HR). C %, the EG(NO, NC, PO, PC, HB) and the CG(NC, PO, PC, HL) showed a siginificant difference. D %, there was a siginificant difference in the EG(NO, PO, PC, HL, HF) and the CG(NO, PC, HB). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that sonic vibration sensory-motor training combined with rhythmic auditory stimulation resulted in significant differences in the stability index, weight distribution index, and weight distribution.
