Summary

Aim: The aim of the present study was to analyse the effects of training performed on a rotating, motorised platform (the Huber/SpineForce device from LPG Systems, Valence, France) intended to reduce the risk of falls. Subjects: any patient 1) benefiting from a physiotherapy rehabilitation program at the CHU Liège, CNRF, Belgium; 2) presenting a pathological situation justifying functional rehabilitation with HUBER 360®; 3) presenting any pathology not constituting an exclusion criterion; 4) giving informed consent to research will be include in this 8-week interventional trial. Design: randomized open-label trial. Patients will be randomized into the intervention group (HUBER trainig, 45 minutes of training, twice a week during 8 weeks) or in the control group (standard care). Outcomes: the effect of the training will be measured on the Time-Up-and-Go test, on the Short-Physical performance battery test and on quality of life.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	HUBER (LPG Systems, France)	The HUBER® device consists of an oval motorized platform, which performs rotating, oscillatory movements with a controlled amplitude and speed. It also comprises, two large handles with force sensors, mounted on a movable column. Its originality is based on its capacity to capture simultaneously the subjects' balance, core stability, core strength and total body strength; and adapt the training accordingly. Indeed, the platform interferes with the balance of the patient who must continually adjust his/her posture by exerting isometric pushing and pulling efforts with the arms. As a result, the device provides postural and muscle adaptation with visual feedback. Due to the constant adaptation of the device, it is thought to enhance muscular strength and improve neuromuscular coordination simultaneously.
