“…Other studies carried out with the Polhemus ® found a contrary trend: a reduction in body sway amplitude 13,18 ; nevertheless, in a population of elderly and obese persons without other associated pathologies. The current sample was made up of volunteers with acute symptoms and with more intense balance disorders, which could justify this finding.…”

“…Studies carried out with obese elderly women and patients with osteoporosis were in agreement as far as the analysis of this parameter is concerned 16,18 . Conversely, the study carried out using the Polhemus ® in seated elderly, showed a reduction in this velocity 13 , it may be because of a different mechanism of compensation, in In the CESS situation, when the visual information was withdrawn, significant differences were seen between the control group and the group with vestibular dysfunction in all the variables (p < 0.01), except in the maximum a-p shift (p = 0.16) and maximum m-l shift (p = 0.42).…”

The vestibular-ocular reflex assessment is important, but not enough. Tridimensional electromagnetic sensor systems represent a new method to assess posturography. Aim:To assess body sway in healthy subjects who had positive Dix Hallpike and Epley maneuvers and with other vestibular dysfunctions by means of a three-dimensional system. Study design: Prospective. Materials and Methods:We had 23 healthy women, 15 with peripheral vestibular dysfunction found upon caloric test and 10 with positive Epley and Dix Hallpike maneuvers. All tests performed in the following positions: open and closed eyes on stable and unstable surfaces. Results:With the Eyes Open and on a stable surface, p < 0.01 between the control group and the one with peripheral vestibular dysfunction in all variables, except the a-p maximum, full speed and mediolateral trajectory velocity, which had a p < 0.01 between the group with vestibular dysfunction and controls in all positions. The group with positive Epley and Dix Hallpike maneuvers had p < 0.01 at full speed and in its components in the x and y in positions with open and eyes closed on an unstable surface. Conclusion:The tridimensional electromagnetic sensors system was able to generate reliable information about body sway in the study volunteers. Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2012;78(3):7-13.

“…10,11 By means of signals obtained from the sensors, deviations in the x (anterior-posterior [AP]), y (medial-lateral [ML]), and z (vertical) planes can be measured. [10][11][12][13][14] The Polhemus device precisely measures all trunk movements through its transmitter coil, which emits an electromagnetic field that is detected by the sensor. The device was calibrated before each evaluation by placing the transmitter coil on a hard level surface, shifting it forward 2cm, and assessing the accuracy of the system in measuring the displacement.…”

ABSTRACT. The aging process brings changes to one's body balance and may trigger a fear of falling. The aim of this study was to compare and verify correlation between different methods that assess body balance among elderly individuals who exercise, according to different levels of fear of falling. The sample was composed of 186 individuals (68.28±6.years) who exercise. Balance assessment used Timed Up and Go, Unipedal Stance, Sitting-Rising and Functional Reach tests. A question about fear of falling was applied in the form of an interview. Statistical analysis used Spearman and Kruskall Wallis correlation. In results, Timed Up and Go (7.13±1.6s), Unipedal Stance (20.52±9.9s), Sitting-Rising (12.43s±3.2s) and Functional Reach (29.51±6.5) showed significant correlation with fear of falling. Individuals less afraid of falling showed better balance performance when compared to those not afraid of falling. In conclusion, better balance performance can contribute to decreasing fear of falling.Keywords: aging, body balance, motor activity.Equilíbrio em idosos praticantes de atividade física com diferentes níveis de medo de cair RESUMO. Com o envelhecimento há alterações no equilíbrio, podendo desencadear o medo de cair. O objetivo desse estudo foi comparar e verificar a relação de distintos métodos de avaliação do equilíbrio corporal em idosos praticantes de atividade física, segundo os diferentes níveis de medo de cair. A amostra foi composta por 186 indivíduos (68,28±6,7anos) praticantes de atividade física. Para avaliar o equilíbrio, utilizou-se o Timed Up and Go, Apoio Unipodal, Sentar e Levantar e Alcance Funcional. Foi aplicado, em forma de entrevista, questão sobre o medo de cair. Na análise estatística utilizou-se correlação de Spearman e Kruskall Wallis. Nos resultados, o Timed Up and Go (7,13±1,6s), Apoio Unipodal (20,52±9,9s), Sentar e Levantar (12,43s±3,2s) e Alcance Funcional (29,51±6,5) apresentaram relação significativa com o medo de cair. Os indivíduos com menos medo de cair apresentaram melhor desempenho de equilíbrio quando comparados com indivíduos sem medo de cair. Dessa forma, o melhor desempenho no equilíbrio pode contribuir para uma diminuição do medo de cair.Palavras-chave: envelhecimento, equilíbrio postural, atividade motora.
