兒童平衡訓練評估系統開發與分析

Develop a balance training and assessment system for children.

前言：台灣99年九歲以下人口數約為210萬人，推估約有10至30萬兒童有發展協調障礙，臨床上常用平衡板做為發展協調障兒童的訓練器材，目前兒童平衡訓練器材，主要訴求為輕量化、簡易性與安全性為主，缺乏成效評估。方法：本研究利用平衡板作為平台，採用重力感測器，搭配運動感測方向介面、PC互動介面模組與後端資料庫介面，軟體開發方面採用Visual Basic為平台，遊戲畫面設計為蜜蜂採花蜜的方式進行，設計五種不同的訓練與測驗模式：移動能力測驗、平均移動時間測驗、上下左右移動測驗、多方位移動測驗、重心靈敏度測驗。利用此五種測驗模式，分析不同課程設計之間的差異，以此作為孩童使用平衡板的成效分析。結果：發現移動能力測驗、上下左右移動測驗與多方位移動測驗皆明顯隨年齡增長，平衡能力增加的趨勢。結論與建議：本研究開發平衡板評估系統，整合遊戲軟體與後端資料庫，搭配測驗設計，應用於兒童平衡訓練與評估，此方式可有效的評估兒童的平衡能力發展。

Purpose: There are ten to thirty million children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)in Taiwan. In clinics， it usually use balance plate for training the balance ability of the children withDCD. However， the balance training products for children emphasized the light， friendly-used， andsafe lack balance ability assessment function. This project develops a balance training andassessment system for children. Methods: The system takes balance plate as foundation andcombines with acceleration sensor， PC interactive interface， and data base. This system is designedas a game by Visual Basic that bee seeks the flower. There are five programs for testing children’sbalance ability in this game: Mobile ability test， Mean spending time test， Up-down and Left-righttest， Multiple-orientation test， Sensitivity of the center of mass moving test. They be analyze thedifferent between the five programs. Results: It can be found the results of Mobile ability test，Up-down and Left-right test， and Multiple-orientation test demonstrated the balance ability inchildren increase with age. Conclusions: It evidences this system enable to assess balance abilityfor children.
