Description
Summary:Objectives. The study aimed to determine the degree of reliability and validity of the “Balance Error Scoring System” (BESS) for students after blast TBI implemented by the developed software and hardware control system. Material and methods. The experiment was attended by 1st-year students (28) after blast TBI in remission, provided that there wereno complications and post-concussion syndrome. The theoretical level of scientific research involved using the methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction and interpretation. The developed software and hardware tools used the method of technical modelling. The experimental data presented in this study were obtained by using the BESS in the process of pedagogical testing, which was processed by methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The result of our scientific research was the development of software and hardware control system for the implementation of BESS based on the integration of hardware and data processing algorithms. In the construction of the software-technical control system for the implementation of BESS, elements of the latest generation of electronic technology were used, namely: piezoelectric pressure sensors, Force-Sensitive Resistor, MPU-9250 sensor module – System-in-Package, which consists of a gyroscope, accelerometer and integrated Digital Motion Processor, as well as Arduino Mega board. For real-time data transmission to the PC screen and smartphone, wireless modules HC-05 (Bluetooth) or ESP32 (Wi-Fi) were used. To implement the tasks of processing BESS data, application software was developed, and neural network technology was used to process BESS results. Statistical processing of BESS results obtained by two methods of registering results revealed that the level of reliability and validity when the results were marked by an expert corresponded to the level of “low” and “medium”. In the case of recording BESS results by the software-technical control system, the level of reliability and validity of the studied parameters reached the limit of “high”. Conclusions. The findings indicate that the use of advanced technologies and dependable automated control systems in inclusive physical education for the collection, careful study and analysis of test data ensures the generation of high-quality, trustworthyinformation, which serves as the basis for creating reliable and scientifically sound programs for restoring damaged functions after blast TBI.
