“…These results were in agreement with those reported in a study conducted on individuals with peripheral vestibular disease, in the group in which the Cawthorne and Cooksey exercises were used, where 50% of participants showed reductions in DHI of greater than 18 points 8 . As in other studies, this index is indicative of improving quality of life 8,16 .…”

Objective: to verify the effect of a vestibular rehabilitation program on workers with dizziness from the Division of Nutrition and Dietetics at a University Hospital. Methods: a total of 13 employees between 42 and 65 years of age participated, of whom, 1 was male, and 12, females. They were evaluated before and after the vestibular rehabilitation program using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory, Work Ability Index and Visual Analog Scale. The program was conducted in groups at the workplace. Statistical analysis was performed using the analysis of variance test for paired factors and the chi-square test. Results: in the pre-and post-vestibular rehabilitation comparison, significant differences were found in the Dizziness Handicap Inventory and Visual Analogue Scale scores. In the qualitative analysis of the Work Ability Index, an increase was observed in the number of workers who considered their ability to work to have improved. Conclusion: vestibular rehabilitation conducted in groups and in the working environment was effective in improving dizziness complaint in workers at the Division of Nutrition and Dietetics. It is believed that the positive experience of this program may be extended to other areas.

“…High technology refers to computer-based equipment such as a highvelocity/infrared camera or other device to measure and record a patient's eye movement, specifically nystagmus. [37] High-technology equipment can detect and measure nystagmus as small as one degree per second, which cannot be seen with the naked eye. [38] Low technology includes all bedside assessments to document a patient's eye movement, such as Frenzel glasses and even questionnaires.…”

Investigating nystagmus in patients with traumatic brain injury: A systematic review (1996 - 2016)

2017

Background. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a health and socioeconomic concern worldwide. In patients with TBI, post-traumatic balance problems are often the result of damage to the vestibular system. Nystagmus is common in these patients, and can provide insight into the damage that has resulted from the trauma. Objective. To present a systematic overview of published literature regarding nystagmus in patients with TBI. Methods. Nine databases and platforms were searched during October 2016 for articles published between 1996 and 2016. Studies of any research design and published in English that focused on nystagmus in patients with TBI were considered for inclusion. A total of 110 articles were screened once duplicates had been removed, and 29 full-text articles were assessed. Eleven articles were included in the quality appraisal phase (using the McMaster tool), after which 10 articles were included in this review. Results. This review describes nystagmus in 713 patients, and all articles reviewed described the type of assessment method that was used. However, the results lacked comprehensive data regarding the assessment, measurement and description of nystagmus in TBI patients, or the possible link and relationship between nystagmus and TBI. Conclusions. This systematic review indicated that: (i) there is a growing body of evidence that benign paroxysmal positional vertigo should be considered during the medical examination of all patients suffering from head trauma; (ii) all patients with TBI should undergo visual (eye movement) and vestibular examination; and (iii) future studies should include quantitative measurements of eye movements and nystagmus.

“…Vertigo is a type of dizziness in which there is spatial disorientation of rotational character (1). Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of dizziness among the population, characterized by short-lived vertiginous outbreaks resulting from positional changes in the head (2,3) and the presence of positional nystagmus due to these changes (4) , which may come accompanied by nausea (5) .…”

Background: The benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of dizziness among the population. The osteopathy is a practice of manual therapy which is guided by a holistic perspective of human being, the cranial osteopathy affirms that the respective bones of the cranium represent mobility. Objective: To investigate the effect of the cranial osteopathy techniques on the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Methods: The current study included 20 female subjects, each one of them with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, distributed in two groups, an intervention group and a control group (placebo); in order to detect the BPPV, was applied the Dix-Hallpike test before and after the interventions. Three techniques of cranial osteopathy were used on the structures related to vestibule and to the temporal bones: mobilization of temporal bones, tensioning of cerebellar tentorium and mobilization of eyeball. All statistical analyzes were performed using the GraphPad Prism 6.0 software (GraphPad Software, CA).Results: Among the intervention group, 7 of 10 individuals were negative to the Dix-Hallpike test, whilst individuals of the control group remained positive to the test. In the statistical analysis verified that the intervention with osteopathic techniques had a significant effect in compared to the control group, with a value p=0.0261. Conclusion: The cranial osteopathy appears to be able of produce effects on the vestibular activity, whereas were able to reduce, in a significant means, the symptoms concerning to BPPV.

Vestibular rehabilitation with visual stimuli in peripheral vestibular disorders

Abstract: The inclusion of visual stimuli by digital images on vestibular and body balance rehabilitation is effective in reducing dizziness and improving quality of life and postural control in individuals with peripheral vestibular disorders.
