Abstract

Visual biofeedback is a visual technology similar to video games. Some studies claim that visual biofeedback improves the balance of stroke patients, but others claim that traditional exercise physical therapy is superior to visual biofeedback. This study set out to investigate how biofeedback affected post-stroke patients’ visual abilities. A review of the literature from an online database that was published between 2012 and 2022 was used as the basis for the study. The randomized control trial articles were found using the keywords “visual biofeedback” and “balance” and “stroke” in the MEDLINE, PubMed, Science Direct, and PEDro databases, with no language restrictions. This review included sample with stroke lasting longer than three months, had no visual problems and were being treated with visual biofeedback. The study was evaluated using PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome), a framework developed and used throughout the literature selection process. A total of 8 articles were reviewed by PICO and met the PEDro score criteria with an average score of 8.0. Visual biofeedback is an additional intervention solution for improving balance by using measuring instruments, such as BBS (Berg Balance Scale), TUG (Timed Up and Go Test) measured between before and after treatment. The use of visual biofeedback in post-stroke patients has been shown to improve balance, walking, and quality of life. However, further research is needed to determine how this additional intervention will be used in the future to make it more optimal, innovative, and modern in the treatment of stroke patients for both acute, subacute, and chronic stroke.
