Filter by:This was a randomized controlled trial study where there the total participants were 22and these participants were randomly selected and then distributed in to two groups all participants were selected according to the inclusion exclusion criteria of the study and then they were randomly distributed in two groups named as group A and group B both of the contain equal number of participants which are randomly distributed in groups each group contain 11 participants .Group A received the vestibular stimulation by swing in different positions supine, prone and with or without support in each position for 10minnts 3 times a week for 10 weeks along with general strengthening exercises of upper and lower limb and group B will receive general strengthening exercises of whole body for same time period. Data will be then analyzed by using SPSS windows version 25
Introduction: Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is a well-established technique with a history spanning over a century, primarily used to manipulate the vestibular system. Recent interest has surged in its potential for understanding human vestibular function and aiding in functional recovery. GVS applies electrical currents to the mastoid region, modulating vestibular afferents, and induces specific effects based on the participant's posture and current polarity. While GVS's impact on the central nervous system and its potential to aid in functional recovery have been studied, its immediate effects on vestibular reflexes remain less explored. Methods: In this study, thirty healthy adult participants underwent ocular and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) tests, as well as the velocity Head Impulse Test (vHIT) before and immediately after one hour of GVS application. Statistical analyses were performed to assess changes in VEMP and vHIT results.
The peripheral vestibular disorder is a heterogeneous disorder that occurs due to unilateral or bilateral involvement of the peripheral vestibular organs in the inner ear, characterized by dizziness, balance disorder, visual blurring with head movements, postural instability, and gait disturbance. In the treatment of vestibular disorders, medical and surgical approaches, as well as vestibular rehabilitation are included. Vestibular rehabilitation should aim at repetitive stimulation of the vestibular sensory organs and improving peripheral sensory inputs by providing strong synaptic plasticity between the hair cells in these organs and the damaged parts of the vestibular system. According to this information, task-oriented training based on the practice of the task in the real environment with plenty of repetition seems to be a suitable method for the requirements of the treatment of vestibular disorders. This study was planned to examine the effects of task-oriented training on balance and gait in patients with peripheral vestibular disorders.
The goal of this virtual clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of two study devices in providing temporary relief to adults aged 18-70 who suffer from symptoms of chronic vertigo. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Which device do participants respond better to (that is, find more relief)? - To what degree do participants find relief? Participants will be: - Enrolled up to 49 days; 14 days in Baseline Phase (no device) and 21 days in Treatment Phase (study device) for Study Arm 1 or 28 days in Treatment Phase (study device) for Study Arm 2 - Randomized and stratified into groups based on diagnosis to be assigned a study device - Asked to use the study device as instructed by the study coordinator - Asked to download a study app to submit daily diaries regarding their symptoms and use of device, and to participate in tele-health visits with study coordinators - Asked to provide their vertigo diagnosis from their physician - Compensated for their participation Researchers will compare the randomized groups to see which groups respond better to which device.
Falling is one of the most common consequences of vestibular dizziness. Most of patients with vestibular dysfunction suffer from balance disorders, postural instability and vertigo that may lead to life threating complications as fractures and brain injuries. Non invasive brain stimulation techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have been investigated as therapeutic interventions for various neurological disorders like motor deficits and balance disorders after various neurological deficits. To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) added to supervised vestibular rehabilitation program on balance and postural stability in patients with vestibular dizziness
The objective of this study is to identify possible preoperative risk factors including genetic background and to suggest the optimal test battery of vestibular function in cochlear implant recipients
70 patients with peripheral vestibular disorders will be included in the study. Half of the subjects will receive vestibular rehabilitation exercises and the other half will receive additional cervical exercises. Results from the two groups will be compared.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of Vestibular Rehabilitation for improving balance and quality of life of patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (SFM). Recruited subjects will be randomly assigned to an experimental group or control group (placebo). The experimental group will receive a standard Vestibular Rehabilitation program focused on eye stabilization and Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) gain with the aim of improving motor and sensory strategies, while the control group will carry out a conventional rehabilitation program that will not include sensory strategy training. The frequency of treatment for both groups will be twice/week, along with daily performing (2 times/day, 5 days/week) of exercises at home. The total duration will be 8 weeks. The outcome measure are: disease impact (FIQ), perceived vertigo (DHI), and confidence in balance (ABC), at pre-treatment, post-treatment, one month follow-up and three months follow-up.
This study aimed to examine the effects of single and dual-task training on physical function, cognitive function, quality of life, balance, concerns about falling, and activities of daily living in the elderly with age-related hearing loss. The elderly who were diagnosed with age-related hearing loss in Pamukkale University Health, Practice and Research Center, Department of Otorhinolaryngology participated in the study. The elderly were allocated a single-task training group, dual-task training group, and control group. Thirteen patients in the single-task training group, 15 patients in the dual-task training group, 14 patients in the control group completed the study. Degrees of hearing loss were determined by pure tone audiometry. Evaluations, Senior Fitness Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, World Health Organization- Quality of Life- Old Module, Berg Balance Scale, Falls Efficacy Scale International, Functional Independence Measure, Dual Task Questionnaire, Dual Task Effect, were performed initially, after the interventions and at the 6th month. The interventions were carried out two days a week and 40 minutes, for five weeks.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of vestibular rehabilitation on metabolic aspects when evaluated by means of bioelectrical impedenzometry analysis, smart watch device and actigraphy in a group of vestibular hypofunction patients previously studied by means of video head impulse test, posturography and clinical validated scales
