Objective To investigate the effects of customized web video-based vestibular rehabilitation in patients with chronic hypofunction. Study Design This study is a randomized controlled trial. Setting The dizziness specialty clinic. Patients participants were diagnosed Interventions used trial design, which randomly assigned to either or booklet-based 1:1 ratio. Main Outcome Measures assessed at three time points: before-intervention (baseline), post-intervention completion (6 wk), and...
Background Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a relatively new disease entity, with diagnostic criteria published by the Bárány Society. PPPD often preceded peripheral or central vestibular disorder. It not clear how coexisting deficits due to preceding disorders affect symptoms. Objective This study aimed characterize clinical features of without isolated otolith dysfunction using function tests. Methods The included 43 patients (12 males and 31 females) who were diagnosed...
This study investigated the effects of a supervised home-based vestibular rehabilitation program using booklet on gait function and dizziness in patients with chronic peripheral hypofunction.This was non-blinded, randomized, controlled trial. Patients (n=42) hypofunction were randomly divided into group (VR group; n=20) or control (n=22). VR received addition to physician care for 4 weeks. The physical therapist checked home when visited outpatient clinic once week. only during trial period....
Height loss is associated with vertebral fracture risk and osteoporosis. We assumed that height may indicate the of falls because presence osteoporosis significantly sarcopenia development. studied association sarcopenia. This study included 610 community-dwelling women. measured height, weight, appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), grip strength, gait speed. Additionally, we recorded individual's tallest or absence single multiple during preceding 12 months. The participants were...
Non-invasive and easy alternative methods to indicate skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) have not been established when dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) or bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) cannot be performed. This study aims construct a prediction model including gastrocnemius thickness using ultrasonography for (SMI). Total of 193 Japanese aged ≥65 years participated. SMI was measured by BIA, subcutaneous fat in the medial were ultrasonography, age, gender body (BMI), grip...
Abstract Introduction This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the effect of rehabilitation and without weekend therapy on Activities daily living (ADL) readmission in vertebral fracture patients aged 60 years older. Methods The present used a hospital‐based database created by JMDC Inc. is an epidemiological that has been storing medical claims Diagnosis Procedure Combination survey data. included 40,743 admitted or older who were for purposes with diagnosis compression thoracic...
[Purpose] This study aimed to compare the effects of different intervention frequencies on walking ability and balance in patients with chronic unilateral vestibular hypofunction. [Participants Methods] Participants included this case-control were assigned one two groups: multiple-intervention (once a week) single-intervention groups. Results for Timed Up Go test, Dynamic Gait Index, Functional Assessment, Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale determined at baseline four weeks after...

Patients A total 162 65 years or older chief complaint dizziness vertigo (dizziness group) 132 community-dwelling elderly (control were recruited during their visit otolaryngology clinic between May 2020 October 2021. Results Of group), 53 (32.7%) classified as according 2019 criteria Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia. There...
ABSTRACT Objectives We investigated whether the locomotive syndrome (LS) severity affects future fragility fractures in osteoporosis patients. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, 315 women with (mean follow-up period, 2.8 years) were reviewed, of whom 244 included analysis. At baseline, we obtained medical information, bone mineral density lumbar spine and femoral neck, sagittal vertical axis. Additionally, LS risk was assessed using two-step test, stand-up 25-question geriatric...
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between results dual-task Timed Up and Go test clinical outcomes in patients with chronic dizziness/vertigo.
