Brief Summary

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of balance training with Kinesthetic Ability Trainer 2000 (KAT 2000) in patients with peripheral neuropathic pain related balance disorder. Methods: A total of 60 patients who developed peripheral neuropathic pain-related balance impairment in the chronic phase due to lumber disc herniation, lumber spondylosis and gonarthrosis were included into this randomized controlled prospective study and randomized into either balance exercises groups or KAT 2000 exercises groups. Balance exercises were given all patients in Group 1 (n=30). In addition to balance exercises, KAT 2000 balance exercises were given all patients in group 2 (n=30). All patients received 45-min individualized training session for three times a week for 4 weeks. Patients were evaluated according to pain, static and dynamic balance and quality of life (QoL).
