| Popis: | Background/Aims We evaluated the efficacy of using virtual reality with specific games for vestibular rehabilitation to treat patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Methods The Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale), Dizziness Handicap Inventory, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, Berg Balance Scale, Balancim, Romberg and Dix-Hallpike tests were used to evaluate 10 participants (5 males and 5 females; mean age 38.5 ± 14.7 years) with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, who played 3 specific games of Nintendo Wii console (Snowboard Slalom, Tightrope Walk, Rhythm Parade) for 10 minutes twice a week for 4 weeks. Results The intervention resulted in significant increases in Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale score (d de Cohen >0.50), decreases in Dizziness Handicap Inventory (P0.80). Conclusions Virtual reality with the selected games seemed to be effective on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo treatment, improving scores of tests and scales used in the assessment. |
