Feedback Facility-Assisted Balance Training in a Patient With Multiple System Atrophy: A Case Presentation.

Multiple system atrophy is a rare neurodegenerative disease with a poor prognosis. Furthermore, there are no pharmacological or notable rehabilitation strategies available to prevent the worsening of the disease. This case presentation assessed the outcome of feedback facility-assisted balance training in combination with physical therapy in a 61-year-old man. The patient participated in 30 training sessions over 6 weeks for 30 minutes each that involved balance training. His static and dynamic balance abilities were improved on the Berg Balance Scale, Trunk Impairment Scale, Functional Independence Measure, and Functional Reach. Although this patient's gait speed and muscle strength did not show improvement after training, feedback facility-assisted balance training might be a potential strategy to help reduce the rate of symptom deterioration in patients with multiple system atrophy.
