Emerging and distinct video head impulse test responses in elderly with vestibular symptoms.

摘要: Abstract Introduction Dizziness has been reported to be the most common symptom in elderly population. Video head impulse test, VHIT, allows clinicians assess vestibular function individuals, during their initial stages of symptoms. Inferences from VHIT responses were traditionally low vestibulo-ocular reflex gain or a normal gain. However, possibility third and new variant not clinically explored yet. Objectives To determine report distinct patterns using individuals with Methods Retrospective cross-sectional study was done on group patients who above 70 years age. These subjected symptomatic phase. A value between 0.80–01.20 (Horizontal plane) considered normal. The below this cutoff range abnormal. Results 39 (15 males 24 females) whose mean age 74.71 evaluated for response. Vestibulo-ocular obtained categorized into three patterns: (i) gain, (ii) reduced vestibulo- ocular (iii) increased both left right horizontal canals varied significantly groups (p   0.05). Conclusion Elderly dizziness may show varying period. type hyperactive vestibule-ocular that emerged current potential indicators fluid dynamic changes inner ear. need further as it relates clinical markers peripheral central disorders.
