The Tetrax biofeedback system is a center\u2010of\u2010pressure controlled video game system designed for patients with balance deficits. Although it is a commercial product, information about its clinical use for patients affected by stroke is limited.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>To investigate the feasibility and potential efficacy of the Tetrax biofeedback system for balance training in patients with chronic stroke.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Feasibility study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title><jats:p>Rehabilitation department of a medical center.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Participants<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants who had sustained a hemiplegic stroke at least 6 months prior to enrollment but were still able to stand independently for more than 5 minutes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group (IG) or control group (CG).

The secondary outcome was efficacy, which was evaluated by the subtests of physiological profile assessment, posturography, Timed Up and Go, and Forward Reach tests. We used percentage change (post\u2010training score \u2013 pretraining score\/pretraining score) to quantify the intervention effects. Mann\u2010Whitney <jats:italic>U<\/jats:italic> tests were used to analyze differences in percentage of change between groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 14 participants were assigned to the IG, and 13 were assigned to the CG; 12 participants in the IG and 11 in the CG completed the study. In the IG group, those who completed the 6\u2010week intervention attended 89.5% of planned sessions. No major adverse events or falls occurred within the intervention sessions. With use of 5\u2010point Likert scales, participants rated their enjoyment of Tetrax games as 4.33 \u00b1 0.78, their motivation as 4.17 \u00b1 1.03, and perceived helpfulness as 4.25 \u00b1 0.97.
