Impacto da cefaleia no equilíbrio postural e na percepção da tontura em mulheres

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the occurrence of headache among women complaining of dizziness and to verify the relationship between the presence of headache and the results of posturography and the handicap caused by dizziness. It is an observational, cross-sectional research, quantitative analysis, performed through a database of 216 exams were selected 49 of women complaining of dizziness, between November 2016 and November 2017. The patients were submitted to anamnesis, Foam-Laser Dynamic Posturography (FLP) and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) quality of life questionnaire. Comparative inferential analysis was performed using the parametric Student T Test and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U Test. the sample presented mean age of 57.7 years, all with complaints of dizziness, of which 30 were of long duration, six of short duration and 13 did not know to refer. Twenty-four patients reported headache, 14 of them bilateral. Nineteen women had a diagnosis of vestibular dysfunction. In the posturographic evaluation, the values, on average, were lower than the PFL standard without relation to the presence of headache. However, in relation to quality of life the total sample presented a severe participation restriction with a significant relation for the group with headache. The presence of headache was an aggravation of the participation restriction caused by dizziness, although it did not significantly influence postural balance in the present sample

Relação entre atividade física, sentimento de incapacidade e qualidade de vida em pacientes com disfunção vestibular periférica

“…A média da idade dos pacientes, dentre os prontuários analisados no estudo, foi de 55.38 anos, valor próximo ao encontrado em outros estudos 11,12 , que mostraram predomínio de adultos, o que pode ser justificado devido à maior facilidade de procura aos serviços de saúde dessa faixa etária e, por se tratar de uma demanda espontânea.…”

Stabilometric assessment of static balance and postural stability in multicanal vertigo post vestibular rehabilitation: a clinical case report

“…When assessed with eyes closed the stabilometric measures are markedly altered (Bastos, et al, 2005). Pimentel, et al, (2020), correlated the influence of vision on orthostatic control through stabilometry. Results showed statistically significant differences only in the closed eyes condition.…”

“…Stabilometry is a technique that assesses postural instability. It consists of assessing body balance in orthostatic posture and quantifying the oscillations coming from the individual´s body while standing on a force platform (Menezes, et al, 2020;Pimentel, et al, 2020).…”

A importância da fisioterapia na reabilitação vestibular em idosos com tontura

“…Cefaleia entre mulheres com vertigem está cada vez maior, apresentando tontura está sendo relacionado com a disfunção vestibular com isso vem apresentando o impacto negativo a equilíbrio postural do idoso (Pimentel, et al, 2020).…”
