“…O foco do estudo na população idosa baseia-se na necessidade de intervenções referentes à reabilitação vestibular para esta faixa etária, estudos demonstram que a população idosa é constantemente acometida por desordens vestibulares, isso se deve à dificuldade de interação entre os sistemas responsáveis pelo equilíbrio proveniente da idade, incluindo decréscimo da função vestibular devido degeneração dos receptores vestibulares periféricos [25][26][27].…”

Este estudo teve por objetivo verificar a eficácia da realidade virtual na intensidade de tontura e qualidade de vida de idosos com hipofunção vestibular unilateral. A amostra foi constituída por 12 indivíduos com idade média de 70,16 ± 6,86 anos, de ambos os gêneros, referindo sintoma de tontura por dois meses e apresentaram positividade para hipofunção vestibular unilateral. Foram excluídos do estudo pacientes que apresentaram positividade para VPPB. Para avaliação da qualidade de vida foi utilizado o Dizziness Handicap Inventory - versão brasileira, para a avaliação do sintoma de tontura foi utilizado a Escala Visual Analógica (EVA). Os participantes foram avaliados e divididos em dois grupos, grupo A - exercícios vestibulares convencionais - e grupo B - tratamento com realidade virtual através do Xbox 360 Kinect® da Microsoft. Ao término da última sessão, foi realizada a reavaliação. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizado estatística descritiva, os testes de Wilcoxon para a variável EVA e T de Student para as o DHI de ambos os grupos. O nível de significância foi de 5%. Ao término do programa, apenas o grupo B mostrou diferença significativa nos quesitos avaliados. Conclui-se que a realidade virtual é adequada no tratamento de idosos com hipofunção vestibular unilateral.Palavras-chave: idoso, doenças vestibulares, terapia de exposição à realidade virtual, terapia por exercício e qualidade de vida.

Introduction Dizziness is one of the most common reasons for seeking primary health care. Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is a conventional treatment method for peripheral balance disorders that effectively decreases symptoms. Lian gong [LG] is believed to benefit patients with dizziness and to reduce the impact of the condition on quality of life by stimulating visual fixation, attention, body balance, and neuroplasticity. Objective The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of LG on the impact of dizziness on quality of life and fear of falling in primary health care patients. Methods This was a two-arm, parallel randomized clinical trial that included 36 patients with dizziness not caused by central changes. After specific medical evaluations and indications for treatment, the participants were randomly assigned to 3 groups: the LG group (n = 11), the VR group (n = 11), and the control group (n = 14). The interventions were conducted collectively over a period of 12 weeks. Results Lian gong reduced the influence of dizziness on quality of life in physical (1.8 points, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.2–3.4), functional (4.0 points, 95% CI: 2.1–5.9), and emotional domains of quality of life (4.4 points, 95% CI: 1.7–7.2), with no differences compared with VR. There were similar concerns among the groups about the risk of falling. Conclusion Lian gong was shown to be an effective balance rehabilitation strategy to reduce the impact of dizziness on quality of life, with similar results to those of VR.
