Abstract
: This study aimed to compare the effects between Wii fit balance board and core stability exercises on balance dysfunction in patients with post mastectomy unilateral lymphedema of upper limb.
Method: Sixty patients (female) aged 40-60 years with grade 1 or 2 lymphedema were randomly assigned into the following two groups. group A received the Wii fit balanced exercises for three times per week for four weeks as total treatment duration in form of (Ski Slalom, Advanced Skiing, Ski Jumping followed by Header and Jump Rope).; group B received core stability exercises for 4 weeks (3times/week) in form of {1- Abdominal bracing (10 repetitions x10 second holds), 2- Curl up (3 sets x 10 repetitions), 3- Supine bridge (3 sets x 10 repetitions), 4- Supine unilateral bridge (3 sets x 10 repetitions for each leg), 5- Plank (3 sets x 10 repetitions) and 6- Bird dog (3 sets x 10 repetitions for each limb)}. Balance was determined using time up and go (TUG) and Wii fit results by using the Wii fit balance board. Balance was measured before and 4 weeks after the treatment program.
Results: The within-group analysis showed significant differences in TUG within Groups A and B before and after the treatment program (p < 0.05), significant differences in Wii fit within Groups A before and after the treatment program (p < 0.05) and non-significant differences in Wii fit within Groups B before and after the treatment program (p > 0.05). The between-group analysis showed significant differences in TUG after treatment (p < 0.05), with non-significant differences observed in Wii fit after treatment (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Wii fit balance exercises are effective more than core stability exercises in the treatment of balance dysfunction in patients with unilateral lymphedema.
