INTRODUCTION Visual stimuli can induce vestibular adaptation and recovery of body balance. OBJECTIVE To verify the effect of visual stimuli by digital images on vestibular and body balance rehabilitation of peripheral vestibular disorders. METHODS Clinical, randomized, prospective study. Forty patients aged between 23 and 63 years with chronic peripheral vestibular disorders underwent 12 se...

OBJECTIVE To establish whether the round window approach (RWA) leads to less vestibular dysfunction and dizziness than the standard cochleostomy approach (SCA) during cochlear implant (CI) surgery, as assessed using the video head impulse test (vHIT).Additionally, objective findings were compared with the subjective dizziness perceived by the patient. STUDY DESIGN Double blinded, clinical ran...

BACKGROUND Dizziness is frequently encountered in medical practice, often takes a chronic course and can impair the health related quality of life (HRQoL). However results on the extent of this impairment of HRQoL are mixed. Furthermore, the relationship between dizziness and the HRQoL is only partially understood. The role of clinical symptoms of dizziness and psychosocial factors such as emot...

La presente investigación da a conocer el impacto de la maniobra reposición Epley en calidad vida las personas que padecen vértigo postural paroxístico benigno, 35 años y más. Para conocimiento se aplicó un test autopercepción llamado Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), cual tomó antes después Epley, periodo tres semanas, con fin verificar si variaba función al tratamiento. Metodología fue desc...

Introduction: The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) is a 25-item self-assessment questionnaire used to evaluate perceived disability from dizziness. predictive validity of Timed Up and Go (TUG), Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), modified Clinical Test Sensory Integration Balance (mCTSIB) on as shown by DHI has not been established specific older adults with peripheral vestibular hypofunction. purpose ...

Rehabilitation therapy is proved to be effective in reducing disability in patients with persistent symptoms of disequilibrium after acute unilateral peripheral vestibular deficit. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of oculomotor rehabilitation (group 2) on static balance and a dizziness handicap and to compare those with the effects to vestibular electrical stimulation (group 1)...

Context Patients with advanced cancer rarely complain of unexplained dizziness after excluding identifiable causes. Some patients become anxious because they attribute the dizziness to the progression of their cancer. We hypothesize that unexplained dizziness is associated with neck muscle hypertonicity, a noncancer-related secondary effect. However, most cases are associated with neck muscle h...

BACKGROUND Vestibular rehabilitation is the most effective treatment for dizziness due to vestibular dysfunction. Given the biological relationship between vestibular symptoms and headache, headache in patients with vestibular migraine (VM) could be improved by vestibular rehabilitation that leads to the improvement of dizziness. This study aimed to compare the effects of vestibular rehabilitat...

ABSTRACT Purpose To assess the effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation on functioning, gains in semicircular canals Video Head Impulse Test (v-HIT), responses to evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP), depressive symptoms, balance, and dizziness older adults. Methods Longitudinal, quasi-experimental, analytical study conducted between December 2019 July 2022, 50 adults with disorders, submitted e...

Introduction: Although vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) methods are relatively popular in treating patients with body balance deficits of vestibular origin, only limited studies have been conducted into customized exercises for unilateral vestibular hypofunction (UVH). Furthermore, very little evidence is available on the outcomes of VRT in the elderly population with chronic UVH. Materi...
