並列タイトル等慢性期末梢前庭障害に対する前庭リハビリテーションの身体活動量と主観的なめまい感に対する効果：6カ月間のランダム化比較試験
一般注記type:Thesis
Introduction: The present study aimed to determine whether supervised vestibular
rehabilitation therapy (VRT) by physical therapists (PTs) affects subjective dizziness in
patients with chronic vestibular disorders, and whether supervised VRT-induced changes
in subjective dizziness are related to the changes in physical activity levels in daily life.
Methods: Patients (n = 47) with chronic peripheral vestibular disorders were randomly
divided into the VRT group (n = 25) and control group (n = 22). Patients in the VRT group
received weekly supervised visits from PTs for a period of 6 months. Every other month,
both groups were advised by neuro-otologists to increase the amount of activity in their
daily life. All patients wore an accelerometer device, which recorded their physical activity
for seven successive days before the end of the intervention. Patients also completed
the dizziness and unsteadiness questionnaires before and after the intervention.
Results: Subjective dizziness decreased significantly regardless of whether supervised
VRT was administered; however, dizziness evoked by social activity and head and body
movements improved more significantly in the VRT group than in the control group. In the
VRT group, there was a significant negative correlation between the increase in sedentary
behavior and improvement in subjective dizziness, and a significant positive correlation
between the increase in light physical activity and improvement in subjective dizziness at
the second month of intervention. The VRT group showed a significantly higher rate of
increase in light physical activity than the control group, after 6 months of intervention.
Conclusion: Supervised VRT could be highly effective in treating subjective dizziness
in patients with chronic peripheral vestibular disorders. We believe frequent (weekly) and
medium-term (6 months) PT-guided interventions may be highly effective in enhancing
physical activity in daily life, and may subsequently improve subjective dizziness in
these patients.
