Alcoholism is a chronic condition, consisting on a state of intoxication caused by the consumption of alcohol beverages. Frequently found signs and symptoms are: gait instability, dizziness and lack of psychomotor coordination, among others.
To study the influence of alcoholism on postural balance.
This is a prospective study. The sample comprehended 32 individuals in the experimental group, members of the Alcoholic Anonymous Group of the city of Santa Maria-RS and 32 non-alcoholic individuals making up the control group. The individuals were submitted to an otorhinolaryngological evaluation, static and dynamic balance study and cerebellar tests, vecto-electro-nystagmographic evaluation and dynamic posturography.
We noticed that the vectoelectronystagmography was normal for most of the individuals in the experimental group, indicating that the labyrinth and the oculomotor-vestibular pathways were normal and that the balance disorder they presented would stem from the dysfunction in other areas of the central or peripheral nervous system. In the dynamic posturography we noticed that alcoholics who were not drinking presented significant alterations in their postural balance when compared to non-alcoholic individuals.
Alcoholic beverages have a deleterious influence on body balance.
酗酒是一种慢性疾病，由饮酒引起的醉酒状态组成。常见的体征和症状包括步态不稳、头晕和运动协调能力下降等。
研究酗酒对姿势平衡的影响。
这是一项前瞻性研究。样本包括 32 名实验组的个体，他们是圣玛丽亚-RS 市匿名戒酒协会的成员，以及 32 名非酗酒的对照组个体。这些个体接受了耳鼻喉科评估、静态和动态平衡研究以及小脑测试、矢量电眼震图评估和动态姿势描记术。
我们注意到，实验组的大多数个体的矢量电眼震图正常，这表明迷路和眼动-前庭通路正常，他们表现出的平衡障碍可能源自中枢或外周神经系统的其他区域的功能障碍。在动态姿势描记术方面，我们注意到不饮酒的酗酒者在姿势平衡方面与非酗酒者相比存在显著变化。
