“…Secondly, women seek more medical care than men 19 . Nonetheless, we chose not to divide the results by sex, because no previous studies have indicated that the patient's sex can interfere with the UFT 12,22 .…”

“…Most studies have performed only the closedeyes step, disregarding the open-eyes one 12,16,17,22 . However, none of these studies justified the exclusion of the open-eyes step, although traditional texts do all assert that closed-eyes balance tests are more sensitive 24 .…”

“…As already described, the UFT is applied using various parameters. For instance, the number and speed of the steps may differ, and this may explain the lack of homogeneity in results throughout the literature 11,12,15,16,25 . To increase the reliability of the UFT results, several reports have advised (1) removing clocks, fans, and telephones; and (2) performing the test in silence, thus, avoiding any sound localization, as ambient sound can act as a spatial locator and influence the extent of the rotation and mask peripheral vestibular alteration 12 .…”

“…In recent years, studies on the effectiveness, sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility of several examinations and/or tests to identify and characterize the symptoms of balance disorders, including the UFT, have been reported in the literature [8][9][10][11][12] .…”

Purpose: to study and characterize anteroposterior and angular deviations in the Unterberger-Fukuda Test (UFT) in relation to the results of the caloric tests in patients complaining of dizziness or vertigo. Methods: 44 subjects-men and women between 20 and 79 years of age-who had symptoms of vertigo or dizziness and had been referred for vectoelectronystagmography were examined. The exclusion criteria were gait difficulties arising from orthopedic and/or spinal disorders, and syndromes or neurological diseases that affect balance. Two procedures were performed: vectoelectronystagmography and UFT. Results: the caloric test showed that 25.00% of the patients had hyporeflexia-the most frequent result. In the open-eyes UFT, only 2.30% presented altered results in anteroposterior displacement. In the closed-eyes test, the equivalent value was 31.80%. Anteroposterior deviation showed a greater correlation with age than the angular one. Abnormal results in the caloric test were associated with the UFT. Conclusion: the results of the closed-eyes UFT were associated with the caloric test. Anteroposterior deviation was correlated with age, while angular deviation was not.

“…En adultos se reporta el uso de las escalas de Romberg, Test de Berg. Mini BEStest, BEStest y fukuda test, estos se encargan de predecir riesgo de caída en pacientes con alteraciones neuromusculares, osteomusculares y vestibulares (Agrawal, 2011) (Benka Wallen, 2016) (Honaker, 2009) (Hong, 2015) (Munnings, 2015) (O'Hoski, 2015 (Saso, 2016) (Tsang, 2013) (Zhang, 2011). En población pediátrica se utiliza la escala Pediatric balance scale en pacientes con parálisis cerebral para la evaluación de las respuestas selectivas de balance en niños (Darr, 2015) (Lim, 2015).…”

Introducción La fisioterapia como área de estudio del movimiento corporal humano, se ha enfatizado en ofrecer herramientas de recuperación a pacientes con diversos tipos de patología a nivel osteomuscular, cardiovascular y neuromuscular. Los procesos de evaluación en fisioterapia son importantes para la identificación de alteraciones estructurales y funcionales en el movimiento corporal humano, en la actualidad existen diversos instrumentos de evaluación con altos niveles de confiabilidad que permiten identificar alteraciones funcionales en los pacientes. Objetivo realizar una revisión de la literatura sobre pruebas clínicas utilizadas para la evaluación del movimiento corporal humano en población adulta y pediátrica en la práctica clínica categorizada por las categorías de la APTA. Método revisión sistemática de la literatura donde se tuvieron en cuenta estudios contemplados del año 2000 al 2016, literatura que contemplara los siguientes términos DeCS: Evaluation, Physical Therapy, pediatrics, adult. Resultados se pudo identificar que entre población adulta y pediátrica existen diferencias en las escalas de medición utilizadas para la evaluación del movimiento corporal humano, las escalas pueden ser categorizadas a través de las categorías de la APTA como características antropométricas, capacidad aeróbica y resistencia, integridad integumentaria, dolor, conciencia atención y cognición, integridad refleja, función motora, desarrollo neuromotor e integridad sensorial, rango de movimiento y flexibilidad, desempeño muscular, marcha y locomoción, balance, autocuidado y manejo en el hogar. Conclusión se pudieron identificar pruebas clínicas con altos niveles de validez y confiabilidad que permiten determinar alteraciones del movimiento corporal humano en adultos y niños, estas pruebas pueden ser categorizadas a través de las categorías de la APTA.
