简要总结
Vertigo is among the most prevalent disorder in older adults around the world leads to dizziness and balance problems resulting in decreased quality of life. Brandt daroff exercises can accelerate vertigo recovery and prevent recurrence without taking drugs. Cawthorne Cooksey first presented vestibular exercises to improve neurophysiological habituation, improves balance in the elderly. This study aims to determine the effects of brandt daroff exercises with cawthorne cooksey exercises on balance, dizziness and functional parameters in older adults with vertigo.
详细描述
This is a randomized controlled trial. Participants will be selected by non-probability convenience sampling technique, thirty two vertigo patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated into two equal groups (experimental and control) by online randomizer tool. The experimental group will receive brandt daroff exercises with cawthorne cooksey exercises and the control group will receive brandt daroff exercises alone. Treatment session of 60 min will be given 3 times a week for 6 weeks. The following assessment tool will be used Visual Analogue Scale and Dizziness Handicap Inventory for vertigo symptom severity, Berg Balance scale and Tinetti POMA for assessment of balance, Functional Independence Measure and IADL Tool for assessment of functional parameters. Assessment will be done at baseline and after 6 week. The data will be analyzed using SPPS software version. 25.

Dizziness Handicap Inventory:
时间窗: 6 weeks
Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) Scale is used for assessment of dizziness. DHI is 25-item self-report questionnaire that measures the impact of dizziness on a person's daily life and use as screening as well as outcome measuring tool in vertigo patients. Each item on the DHI is scored on a 0 to 4 scale, with 0 meaning "no problem" and 4 meaning "severe problem." It is a widely used tool in clinical practice to assess the severity of dizziness and its effect on a person's functional, emotional, and physical well-being. DHI has been found to have 75% sensitivity. The DHI Scale has been found to have high test-retest reliability (icc0.92) and moderate construct validity (Pearson's correlation coefficient 0.47). It is a self-report questionnaire so no special equipment is required to perform it.
Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobolity Assessment
时间窗: 6 weeks
Tinneti POMA (performance oriented mobility assessment) is a reliable tool use for assessment of balance and gait in older adults. The test and retest values for the POMA-T, POMA-B, POMA-G all varied between (0.72) and (0.86). The inter-rater reliability values all varied between (0.80) and (0.93). This test has a sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 52%. It is a 17-item test that takes about 15 minutes to complete. It uses a 3-point ordinal scale of 0, 1 and 2. Gait is scored over 12 and balance is scored over 16 totaling 28. Equipment Required: A hard armless chair, A stopwatch, A 15 feet even and uniform walkway.
Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Scale
时间窗: 6 weeks
The Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Scale is used to evaluate independent living skills. The instrument is most useful for identifying how a person is functioning and identifying improvement or deterioration over time. The scale measures eight domains of function including food preparation, housekeeping, laundering. Individuals are scored according to their highest level of functioning in that category. A summary score ranges from 0(low function, dependent) to 8(high function, independent). Inter-rater reliability was established at.85. Administration time is10-15 minutes
