简要总结
Loss of vestibular function occurs normally with healthy aging but can produce symptoms that reduce motor skills and cause falls. vestibular physical therapy (VPH) exercises are a specific approach to reducing imbalances. The multicomponent therapeutic physical exercise (ME) is an effective non-pharmacological strategy for the improvement of physical condition.
Objective: to determine the efficacy of ME versus VPH for gait improvement. Material and method: a randomized clinical trial was carried out with two intervention groups , applying it to one VPH group and the other ME.
The participants were residents of Geriatric Centers in the province of Seville, Spain with a score between 4 and 9 points according to the "Short Physical Performance Battery" scale (SPPB).
详细描述
This pilot study is a controlled and randomized clinical trial (simple ER) with two groups in parallel, comparing the combination of a multi-component therapeutic exercise protocol (ME) versus vestibular exercises (VPH) in over 70 years. The trial was approved by the Ethics Committee on Research with code 2410-N-19 and the study was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration.

结局指标
主要结局
Movement Capacity: SPPB (Short Physical Performance Battery) Physical Function Valuation Battery
时间窗: Change from Baseline at 6 weeks
The SPPB fitness rating battery consists of three parts: Balance rating, 4 metre gait assessment rating and the Time up and go test (TUG). From 0 (bad) to 12 (well) there is a score which describes de functionality
Test Time up and Go
时间窗: Change from Baseline at 6 weeks
The participants try to stand up and wlak 3 metres and return sitting. We must record the time. 1) This is a continuous quantitative variable measured in seconds.
Speed test
时间窗: Change from Baseline at 6 weeks
Speed test. A participants walking speed over a 4 metre distance. This is a continuous quantitative variable measured in meters per second (m/s).
