背景和目的：这是一个初步的调查，以探讨集体瑜伽的潜在好处，因为过去的工作表明，一对一瑜伽可以改善功能缺陷的成人脑injure.Materials和方法：参与者作为自己的控制。招募了9名患有慢性脑损伤的参与者，其中7名（4名女性）完成了研究。平衡和流动性和自我报告的措施的平衡信心，疼痛，职业表现和满意度的性能指标。数据收集3次：基线（研究开始），瑜伽前（8周无接触期后）和瑜伽后（8周瑜伽后）。小组瑜伽由瑜伽教练/职业治疗师领导，会议持续1小时，发生每周两次。结果：没有参与者退出，由于瑜伽的不良影响。基线和瑜伽前之间没有显著变化。显著改善后瑜伽的平衡（p = 0.05），流动性（p = 0.03），和自我报告的职业表现（p = 0.04）。结论：我们观察到的平衡，流动性，和自我报告的职业表现在慢性脑损伤的成年人显着改善。
Background and purpose: This was a preliminary investigation to investigate potential benefits of group yoga, as past work has indicated that one-on-one yoga can improve functional deficits in adults with brain injury.Materials and methods: Participants served as their own controls. Nine participants with chronic brain injury were recruited, and seven (four female) completed the study. Performance measures of balance and mobility and self-reported measures of balance confidence, pain, and occupational performance and satisfaction were used. Data were collected 3 times: baseline (study onset), pre-yoga (after an 8-week no-contact period), and post-yoga (after 8 weeks of yoga). Group yoga was led by a yoga instructor/occupational therapist, and sessions lasted 1 h and occurred twice a week.Results: No participants withdrew due to adverse effects from yoga. There were no significant changes between baseline and pre-yoga. Significant improvement was observed post-yoga in balance (p = 0.05), mobility (p = 0.03), and self-reported occupational performance (p = 0.04).Conclusion: We observed significant improvements in balance, mobility, and self-reported occupational performance in adults with chronic brain injury.
