Avaliação de pacientes com queixa de tontura e eletronistagmografia normal por meio da estabilometria

Abstract: As causas de tontura são de difícil diagnóstico. Atualmente dispomos de uma variedade de exames complementares, contudo, nenhum avalia bem a função vestibular. Os testes mais utilizados para este fim são as provas eletronistagmográficas e posturográficas. OBJETIVO: O objetivo do trabalho foi o de analisar os resultados da estabilometria de pacientes com queixa de tontura que apresentaram eletronistagmografia normal e compará-los aos de um grupo controle. FORMA DE ESTUDO: Prospectivo, do tipo seccional transver… Show more

“…Falls may be a consequence of imbalance and locomotion difficulties, followed by fractures, accounting for 70% of accidental deaths in individuals 75 years of age or older [9]. http://www.mjms.ukim.edu.mk integration enables individuals to preserve their postural system in balance [11,13]. Balance is the ability to maintain the center of body mass over a base of support, shifting body weight swiftly and precisely in different directions within this support base.…”

“…In sports, suitable posture assessment produces data about the functional capacity of the athlete, besides identifying specific alterations which compromise their posture control and consequent performance. Balance, sensory characteristics and vestibular system examinations get together as useful instruments in this investigation 6,8,10,24,26,27 . In sport shooting and similar modalities, as arch shooting, the posture examination has been approached for performance improvement, injury investigation and alterations associated with this class of sport 17,18,22,[28][29][30] .…”

“…Subsequently, the stabilometric examination, which consisted of four aquisitions, with 30-second duration for each aquisition, took place. This time was based on the concept that prolonged aiming time harms the shooting accuracy 16 and on the protocol by Bastos et al 24 . On the first acquisition (control-PC position), the athlete should adopt orthostatic position on the platform, barefoot, upper limbs along the body, support base according standard guidelines of the platform, eyes open and aim at the target.…”

“…12 Maintaining balance for posture control requires the interaction of different sensory information systems (visual, vestibular and somatosensory), the active and passive properties of the musculoskeletal system and part of the nervous system. [13][14][15][16][17] Postural control maintains the body's center of gravity at the base of support. Weight is displaced quickly and precisely from the center in different directions.…”
