METHOD: An experimental group with 34 patients diagnosed with defined Menière's disease with age ranging from 30 to 60 years and a control group with 34 healthy individuals with ages ranging from 32 to 64 years, homogenous regarding age and sex, were submitted to posturography of the Tetrax Interactive Balance System (Tetrax IBSTM) in eight sensory conditions. The parameters analyzed were: stability index; weight distribution index; synchronization index of right / left postural and toe / heel oscillation; postural oscillation frequency; and fall risk index. RESULTS: The stability index was higher in the experimental group with a significant difference between the groups in all sensory conditions tested. The risk of falls was significantly higher in the experimental group (44,24%) than in the control group (16,35%). The postural oscillation was higher in the experimental group in all frequency bands, with a significant difference in F1 in four sensory conditions; in F2-F4 under all conditions; in F5-F6, in seven; and in F7-F8, in three. The weight distribution index was higher in the experimental group without significant difference between the groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the synchronizations between heels and toes of each foot, between the two heels and the toes of both feet and between the heels of one foot with the contralateral toes in the eight sensorial conditions evaluated. CONCLUSION: Patients with Menière's disease presented impaired body balance on a static posturography, characterized by changes in stability and postural oscillation and risk of fall.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosVertical visual subjetiva e potencial evocado miogênico vestibular na Doença de Menière(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2021) Ferreira, Maristela Mian [UNIFESP]; Gananca, Heloisa Helena Caovilla Malavasi [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São PauloIntroduction: The subjective visual vertical (SVV), the cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) and the ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) are tests that can help in the functional assessment of the static and dynamic otolithic system in the intercritical period of Menière's disease (MD). Objective: to evaluate the otolytic function by comparing the findings of SVV, cVEMP and oVEMP in patients in the intercritical period of unilateral defined MD. Method: The sample, consisting of an experimental group (n=22; 15 male and 17 female, with mean age of 38,7 ± 6,3 years) of unilateral defined MD and a control group (n=14; 5 male and 9 female, with mean age of 41,64 ± 13,45 years), was submitted to vestibular evaluation by means of SVV with the bucket method, cVEMP and oVEMP. The data were tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis. Results: The results of the SVV, evaluated by group of ears or by individuals, and those of cVEMP, oVEMP and cVEMP + oVEMP showed no significant difference, indicating that there was no disagreement among them. The group of ears with absence of oVEMP presented longer disease duration than the group with presence of oVEMP. Conclusion: SVV abnormalities combined with those of cVEMP and oVEMP and the agreement or disagreement between SVV findings and some parameters of cVEMP and oVEMP indicate that the complementary association of SVV with cVEMP and oVEMP contributes to improve the recognition of otolithic dysfunction in the intercritical period of unilateral defined Menière's disease.
