跌倒和跌倒引起的伤害是全球主要的公共卫生问题。平衡和步态障碍是导致跌倒的第二大原因。惯性运动传感器和力传感器已被广泛用于监测静态和动态平衡性能。根据检测到的性能，可以提供即时的视觉、听觉、电触觉和振动触觉生物反馈，以增加体感输入，增强平衡控制。本文旨在综合研究生物反馈系统对平衡性能的影响，包括可穿戴惯性运动传感器和力传感器。本综述纳入了随机和非随机临床试验。所有研究均根据方法学质量进行评估。总结了样品特点、装置设计和研究特点。大多数先前的研究表明，生物反馈装置在增强健康年轻人和老年人以及平衡和步态障碍患者的静态和动态平衡方面是有效的。应注意为不同的预期目的选择适当类型的传感器和生物反馈。最大化微处理器的计算能力，同时最小化电子元件的尺寸，似乎是优化设备的未来方向。可穿戴式平衡改善设备在日常生活中有其作为平衡辅助工具的潜力，可以在室内和室外使用。
Falls and fall-induced injuries are major global public health problems. Balance and gait disorders have been the second leading cause of falls. Inertial motion sensors and force sensors have been widely used to monitor both static and dynamic balance performance. Based on the detected performance, instant visual, auditory, electrotactile and vibrotactile biofeedback could be provided to augment the somatosensory input and enhance balance control. This review aims to synthesize the research examining the effect of biofeedback systems, with wearable inertial motion sensors and force sensors, on balance performance. Randomized and non-randomized clinical trials were included in this review. All studies were evaluated based on the methodological quality. Sample characteristics, device design and study characteristics were summarized. Most previous studies suggested that biofeedback devices were effective in enhancing static and dynamic balance in healthy young and older adults, and patients with balance and gait disorders. Attention should be paid to the choice of appropriate types of sensors and biofeedback for different intended purposes. Maximizing the computing capacity of the micro-processer, while minimizing the size of the electronic components, appears to be the future direction of optimizing the devices. Wearable balance-improving devices have their potential of serving as balance aids in daily life, which can be used indoors and outdoors.
