The loss of vestibular function, typically bilateral, due to chemical solvents and pharmacological agents is not rare and has been investigated and reported for many years. The successful treatment of bacterial infections and sepsis with IV antibiotics and cancer-fighting drugs like cisplatin makes the decision to use these life-saving drugs less of a debate, despite their potential deleterious effect on balance and equilibrium. The purpose of this article is to provide the reader with an overview of the more common substances found in industry and medicine which may decrease or permanently destroy peripheral and/or central vestibular function. A review of bedside and clinical evaluation protocols will be discussed as well as best practice intervention with balance retraining therapy. Finally, the role of the audiologist and opportunities for participation in an interdisciplinary approach to evaluation and management will be presented.

“…Em uma revisão sistemática de estudos de aplicação de jogos na recuperação de habilidades de movimento e equilíbrio de idosos que sofreram quedas, Neri et al (2017) ressaltam a importância do engajamento dos pacientes para casos de melhora de longo prazo. Os autores também afirmam que durante uma sessão de jogo, os pacientes dirigem sua atenção para a experiência de jogo, o que proporciona um ambiente desafiador e motivador, tornando mais provável a sua participação em um número maior de sessões e, consequentemente, ampliando sua plasticidade neural e sua capacidade de aprendizado motor.…”

Além dos benefícios trazidos pela experiência desafiadora do jogo, Neri et al (2017) ressaltam a importância do duplo treinamento proporcionado pela sessão, em que o paciente é treinado tanto em suas habilidades motoras quanto cognitivas, em uma experiência que possibilita o desenvolvimento em um ritmo particular para cada indivíduo.…”

“…Since its appearance, VR has been used in different fields, as for gaming (Meldrum et al, 2012;Zyda, 2005), military training (Alexander et al, 2017), architectural design (Song et al, 2017), education (Englund et al, 2017), learning and social skills training (Schmidt et al, 2017), simulations of surgical procedures (Gallagher et al, 2005), assistance to the elderly or psychological treatments are other fields in which virtual reality is bursting strongly (Freeman et al, 2017;Neri et al, 2017). There are many possibilities that allow the use of virtual reality as a stimulus, replacing real stimuli, recreating experiences, which in the real world would be impossible, with a high realism.…”

Cognitive functions include all the processes through which an individual perceives, records, maintains, recovers, manipulates, uses and expresses information that are involved in any everyday activity. The traditional cognitive functioning assessment belongs to the applied neuropsychological science that focuses on the evaluation of the specific cognitive components through the recollection of observable behaviors during specific activities. The main standardized tools can be divided in three main groups: short scales of cognitive tracking testsquestionnaires, general neuropsychological batteries, and specific tests. These tools are well-validated and riable but, in the last decade, several research have shown that some patients can perform these neuropsychological tests well, even when they have significant difficulties in adapting their behaviors to daily life activities. This could depend on the fact that neuropsychological tests are too abstract, decontextualized and do not reflect daily life activities. According to this, more recently, a new approach has substantially increased, potentially providing a higher ecological validity in functional cognitive abilities assessment than standardized approach: the use of advanced technological systems for neuropsychological assessment (ATSNA). ATSNA refer to a set of devices and software applications such as computerized tests, fun and interactive fantasy serious games (SG), and/or simulated virtual (VR) and/or augmented (AR) reality systems that go beyond traditional assessment tests and that supply the possibility to deliver controlled and dynamic stimuli, in ecologically valid, and secure environments. Technologically, ATSNA can be rendered through a non-immersive (2D) screen in which interaction is possible thanks to a keyboard or a mouse or through more immersive head mounted display systems (3D) in which the human eye-gaze and (virtual) hands allow subjects to interact with the synthetic elements. Hence, by developing an ATSNA system that allows subject to become protagonist in an ATS environment, cognitive functions can be assessed as if he/she was evaluated in a real-simulated environment. In fact, although to date several 2D and 3D Contents
