摘要

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the balance belt with sensory organization test in individuals without balance disorders. Initially, sensory organization test was administered to 30 participants between the ages of 19–29. Then, the test was repeated with a balance belt. The results of the test without and with the belt were compared. Significant differences were observed in the 3rd (3 − 2) and 4th (4 − 2) conditions, as well as in the SOM1 value (p < 0.05). In these condutions, a significant increase in somatosensory input was observed in tests conducted with the balance belt. However, no significant difference was found between belted and unbelted scores in other conditions (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the composite scores of the sensory organization test (SOT) conducted with and without the balance belt (p > 0.05). This study found that in individuals without balance disorders, there was an increase in somatosensory input in tests conducted with a balance belt under certain conditions. However, significant improvement was not observed in every condition. In this case, the possibility of the learning effect should be considered, given the large body of the balance belt and the fact that participants did not have any balance disorders. Further research is needed to incorporate methods such as vibrotactile feedback into vestibular rehabilitation programs for individuals with bilateral vestibulopathy and balance issues in daily life.
