简要总结
Thirty subjects with unilateral vestibular hypofunction diagnosed by videonystagmography (VNG) were voluntarily included in the study. In addition to Static Posturography test, head thrust test, Unterberger test, bucket test, eyes open/closed tandem stance test, eyes open/closed semitandem stance test, Romberg test, one leg standing on foam floor with eyes open/closed and before vestibular rehabilitation treatment In the initial evaluations, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Dizziness Disability Inventory (DHI) were applied to assess the severity of standing on one leg with eyes open/closed, dynamic visual acuity, vertigo, and fatigue. As a result of the study, it was concluded that vestibular rehabilitation is beneficial in patients with unilateral vestibular hypofunction and its effectiveness can be monitored with Static Posturography.
详细描述
Patients were re-evaluated after 8 weeks of vestibular rehabilitation and the results were compared. The vestibular rehabilitation program was changed every two weeks. During the eight-week period, the patients performed the exercise program 3 times a day with 10 repetitions of each exercise. According to the evaluation results after the treatment, there was a statistically significant improvement in static posturography, especially in the modified-CTSIB test. There was a statistically significant improvement in dynamic visual acuity, head thrust test, bucket test, standing on one leg on firm and foam ground with eyes open/closed, tandem stance test with eyes closed, and Unterberger test. Statistically significant scores were obtained in VAS and DHI results.

结局指标
主要结局
Static Posturography
时间窗: 8 weeks
In this study, balance assessment was performed using Otometrics ICS Balance Platform Version 7.1.331 Static Posturography device. The patients were asked to take off their shoes and stand on the pressure platform, align themselves at the zero point seen on the computer screen, and stand as still as possible with their hands at their sides. Posturography, Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction Balance (mCTSIB), Limits of Stability (LOS) and Balance Training included in the device are the evaluations made in the study.
