Popis: | During attacks of vestibular neuritis (VN), patients typically lose postural balance, with resultant postural inclination, gait deviation toward the lesion side, and tendency to fall. In this study, we examined and analyzed static and dynamic postural control during attacks of VN to characterize differences in postural control between right and left VN. Subjects were patients diagnosed with VN at the Department of Otolaryngology, Toho University Sakura Medical Center, and underwent in-patient treatment. Twenty-five patients who had spontaneous nystagmus were assessed within 3days after the onset; all were right-foot dominant. Right VN was detected in nine patients (men: 4, women: 5; mean age: 57.6±17.08years [range: 23-82]) and left VN in 16 patients (men: 10, women: 6; mean age: 58.4±14.08years [range: 23-85 years]); the percentages of canal paresis of right and left VN were 86.88±18.1% and 86.02±15.0%, respectively. Statistical comparisons were conducted using the independent t-test. In stabilometry, with eyes opened, no significant differences were found between patients with right and left VN. However, with eyes closed, the center of horizontal movement significantly shifted ipsilateral (p |
