Posturography has been used in the evaluation of patients with vestibular disorders.
To evaluate balance control with the Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU) posturography in patients with Menière's disease.
Prospective case-control.
30 patients diagnosed with Menière's disease and a control group consisting of 40 healthy matching individuals in relation to age and gender, were submitted to a balance function evaluation by means of a Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU) posturography.
Comparing patients with Menière's disease and the control group, we found significant differences between the values of the sway speed in the static force plate, down optokinetic stimulation (p=0.038) and horizontal visual vestibular interaction (p=0.049); and of the ellipse area in the static force plate, eyes closed (p=0.001); left optokinetic stimulation (p=0.007); down optokinetic stimulation (p=0.003); horizontal visual vestibular interaction (p=0.003); and vertical visual vestibular interaction (p=0.028).
The postural control assessment with the Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU) posturography enables the identification of sway speed and ellipse area abnormalities in patients with Menière's disease.
使用平衡康复单元(BRU)测姿仪评估梅尼埃病患者的平衡控制能力。
前瞻性病例对照研究。
30 例被诊断为梅尼埃病的患者和 40 例年龄和性别相匹配的健康对照组个体接受了平衡功能评估,使用平衡康复单元(BRU)测姿仪进行。
与对照组相比,梅尼埃病患者在静力板晃动速度、下视动刺激(p=0.038)和水平视觉前庭相互作用(p=0.049)以及闭眼静力板椭圆面积(p=0.001)、左视动刺激(p=0.007)、下视动刺激(p=0.003)、水平视觉前庭相互作用(p=0.003)和垂直视觉前庭相互作用(p=0.028)方面存在显著差异。
使用平衡康复单元(BRU)测姿仪进行的姿势控制评估能够识别梅尼埃病患者的晃动速度和椭圆面积异常。
