ABSTRACT Purpose: to verify the association of self-reported feelings of disability and physical activity with the impact of vestibular symptoms on the quality of life of patients with vestibular dysfunction. Methods: a retrospective, cross-sectional, analytical, documentary study approved by the Research Ethics Committee (evaluation report no. 4.462.519), with 50 selected medical records of patients diagnosed with peripheral vestibular dysfunction, including a survey of their medical history and results of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). Results: the sample’s mean age was 55.38 years, and the majority were females (70%). The DHI revealed a moderate impact of dizziness. Physically active patients perceived less impact of the disease (p-value = 0.0167), while patients with feelings of disability, due to vestibular symptoms, had a greater damage of their quality of life (p-value = 0.0468). Conclusion: physical activity was associated with less damage of dizziness to the quality of life; also, a greater impact on the quality of life was associated with feelings of disability related to vestibular complaints. |
