Effectiveness of Additional Protocol Exercises for Cervical Mobility and Proprioception in Vestibular Rehabilitation: a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intervention Group (IG) and Control Group (CG) for Vestibular Diseases. Completed, enrolled 28 participants.
Detailed Summary
Vertigo, dizziness and imbalance are the main symptoms of vestibular dysfunction. They can lead to physical consequences, such as the reduction of postural control and falls, psychological and / or psychiatric consequences such as anxiety and depression, panic and cognitive changes, especially in the elderly. It is known that individuals affected by these disorders may improve with the completion of vestibular rehabilitation protocol.Treatment protocols can introduce variability of exercises to control the signs and symptoms related to vestibular diseases, in order to customize the treatment to affected individuals .

Interventions
Therapeutic approaches to this proposal are intended to promote muscle relaxation to increase range of motion and analgesia of neck and shoulder girdle region, as well as the fascial release these regions with the intervention of cervical global pompage, exercises for body mobility for upper limb and trunk in the positions supine, lateral and dorsal, sitting and standing and gradually followed by proprioceptive exercises to the lower limbs and trunk in sitting and standing positions with aid devices such as foams, pool baguettes, balance boards, Swiss balls, steps, trampolines and BOSU ( BOSU® Home Balance Trainer ). The exercises will be held in individual treatments lasting sixty minutes with a frequency of once a week for all group members.
The exercises consist of eye movements in different directions, slow and fast; head movements in different planes, with open and closed eyes, slow and fast; and body exercises such as lifting and sit, walk open and closed eyes, up and down ramps and stairs, as well as some activities and ball games.
