Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) may compromise the balance of elderly subjects. To observe effects Epley maneuver in subjects with BPPV and assess clinical functional aspects body balance. This is a prospective study. Patients diagnosed (Dix-Hallpike test) were submitted to Timed Up & Go (TUG) test, Clinical Test Sensory Interaction Balance (CTSIB), lower limb testing before after they repositioned using modified maneuver. most females, group's mean age was 70.10 years (SD =...
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common vestibular disorders.To study recurrence and persistence BPPV in patients treated with canalith repositioning maneuvers (CRM) during period year.longitudinal contemporary cohort series.One hundred were followed up 12 months after a treatment CRM. Patients classified according to disease evolution. Aquatic physiotherapy for rehabilitation (APVR) protocol was applied cases persistent BPPV.After CRM, 96% free from BPPV's...
To assess whether more than one Epley's maneuver in the same session, compared to a single one, decreases number of sessions necessary suppress positional nystagmus. was done 123 patients with BPPV due unilateral posterior semicircular canal canalolithiasis. The for nystagmus suppression two groups patients. Group I consisted 75 submitted on weekly and group II 48 that were four maneuvers during first session. showed greater latency duration (p<0.05). standard deviation by (p=0.008). We...
OBJETIVO: Avaliar se a repetição de manobras Epley em uma mesma sessão resulta um menor número sessões para abolir o nistagmo posicionamento do que única manobra por sessão. MÉTODO: A foi realizada 123 pacientes com VPPB unilateral ductolitíase canal posterior. O grupo I composto 75 submetidos semanal e II constituído 48 quatro na primeira RESULTADOS: apresentou latência duração maiores (p<0,05). média desvio-padrão apresentados pelo foram no (p=0,008). Observou-se associação significante...

The effectiveness of postmaneuver postural restrictions is controversial in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. To verify the role vertigo posterior canal, submitted to a single Epley maneuver. clinical prospective. Fifty eight canal were randomly divided two groups following application unique from group 1 informed restrict their head movements and use cervical collar 2 not about these restrictions. both reevaluated one week after maneuver, regarding presence symptoms...
Met abolic disorders can cause dizziness.Aim: to study the prevalence of glucose and glucose-insulin alterations in patients with peripheral vestibular by studying four-hour curve; check at what time there was highest altered cases whether insulin curves together are better than isolate curve fasting curve.Materials Methods: retrospective study, analyzing 81 dizziness.Results: Four-hour happened 87.7% patients.Hypoglycemia seen 61.7% cases, hyperinsulinemia 55.5%, hyperglycemia 27.2%,...

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o número de manobras necessárias para abolir nistagmo posicional em pacientes com Vertigem Posicional Paroxística Benigna e verificar possíveis influências do substrato fisiopatológico e/ou canal semicircular acometido. FORMA DE ESTUDO: clínico prospectivo coorte transversal. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Sessenta foram tratados por meio das reposicionamento estatocônios, repetidas semanalmente até a abolição nistagmo. A Análise Variância foi aplicada diferenças entre as variáveis dos...
O uso de restrição movimentação cefálica após a manobra Epley ainda é controverso. OBJETIVO: Verificar importância da na evolução clínica pacientes com vertigem posicional paroxística benigna por ductolitíase canal semicircular posterior, quando submetidos uma única Epley. FORMA DE ESTUDO: clínico prospectivo. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Cinqüenta e oito do posterior foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos aplicação Os grupo 1 orientados quanto às restrições os 2 não orientados. Após semana,...
Conclusion: The patients with unilateral chronic vestibular hypofunction detected by caloric test demonstrated at least some sort of altered evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) in 63.63% the cases. VEMP side was same as 54.54% cases and opposite 24.24%. improved functional assessment hypofunction. Objectives: To analyze dizziness verify findings according to structures involved. Methods: This an observational study. In all, 66 subjects were evaluated (tone bursts/1000 Hz/100 dBnHL/bandpass...
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a very common vestibular disorder characterized by brief but intense attacks of rotatory vertigo triggered simple rapid movement the head. The integrity pathways can be assessed using tests such as digital vectoelectronystagmography (VENG) and evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP).
PURPOSE: To evaluate the tissue response of mucosa tympanic cavity guinea pigs, when receiving biodegradable implant. METHODS: A total 20 male pigs were divided into 2 groups. After paracentesis in both ears, a polymer poly lactic-co-glycolic acid was implanted only one middle ear. Histological analysis using neutrophil exudate and vascular neoformation (acute inflammation) fibroblast proliferation mononuclear inflammatory cells (chronic as parameters performed after 10 30 days survival...
<p>A vertigem posicional paroxística benigna (VPPB), uma das causas mais frequentes de origem periférica, é caracterizada por breves episódios tontura desencadeados movimentos cefálicos. Embora haja diversos tratamentos descritos para a VPPB, manobra reposicionamento otolítica utilizada, pela facilidade execução e alta taxa resolução dos sintomas. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da reposição sobre aspectos clínicos funcionais pacientes com VPPB. Foi realizada revisão...
