“…The authors explained these results by the ability of pathological group develop better the visual and somatosensory cues for maintaining balance and thus compensate for the inaccurate information from the vestibular system. (10,11) However, these discrepancies of results between the studies could be related by differences from methodological protocol.…”

“…However, Macedo et al (10) demonstrated similar values of COP for patients with chronic vestibular dysfunction when compared to data from healthy elderly (sedentary) in bipedal stance. The authors explained these results by the ability of pathological group develop better the visual and somatosensory cues for maintaining balance and thus compensate for the inaccurate information from the vestibular system.…”

The patients who received additional balance VRT demonstrated better results in dynamic balance than those who received only CRM. Implications for Rehabilitation The findings that balance VRT in addition to CRM improves dynamic balance in elderly people with BPPV should be useful in guiding rehabilitation professionals' clinical decision making to design interventions for seniors suffering from BPPV; Improvements in tests of dynamic balance suggest that the risk of adverse consequences of BPPV in the elderly such as falls and fractures can be potentially reduced through implementation of CRM in conjunction with balance VRT; Lack of additional improvement in Visual Analogue Scale of dizziness and Dizziness Handicap Index suggests that addition of balance VRT does not influence dizziness symptomatology, per se, and CRM alone is effective to ameliorate vertiginous symptoms and potentially improve quality of life.

“…Do ponto auditivo, as fibras sinápticas sofrem alterações eletrofisiológicas, o que é sobrevindo do avanço do atrito entre as fibras nervosas e o nervo vestibular. Todas essas alterações, independentemente da idade e histórico de quedas do indivíduo, podem potencializar consideravelmente o risco de quedas futuras 10,37 .…”

OBJECTIVE: To examine the sensory performance of static and dynamic balance regulation and the risk of falling in physically active adult and elderly women.METHOD: This is a non-probabilistic and intentional cross-sectional study. Thirty four women (51.90±15.84 years) enrolled in a gym attended. The population evaluated was stratified in age groups: 20-59 years (n=18) and 60 69 years (n=16). The gait was evaluated by the Time Up and Go (TUGs), Time Up and Go manual (TUGm), and Time Up and Go cognitive (TUGc), the balance by the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) and Body Balance Test (TEC). RESULTS: Student’s t-test showed significant differences between age groups for comorbidities: hearing, vision, vertigo, labyrinthitis (p≤0.05). Comparatively, adult women showed better performance indices than older women in physical tests. According to the standards of the tests, there was no risk of falling for any group. However, regardless of age, a detailed examination of the TEC test showed a deficit in the sensory regulation of the visual, vestibular and somatosensory systems of the static and dynamic balance of fallers and non fallers (p≤0.05). The logistic regression analysis indicated the interoceptive regulation of the dynamic balance as a predictor of fall (p≤0.05). CONCLUSION: Deficits in the vestibular and somatosensory systems gradually potentiate the risk of falls in adult and elderly women, even if they remain physically active.

Influence of sensory information on static balance in older patients with vestibular disorder

Abstract: Static body balance in elderly individuals with vestibular disorders is worse when the sensory conditions are more challenging, i.e. stable and unstable surfaces, visual stimuli, such as optokinetic and visual-vestibular interaction, and with the eyes closed.
