Efficacy of Vestibular Physiotherapy Against Multi-component Exercise in Functional Improvement in the Elderly": Pilot Study of a Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Experimental: VESTIBULAR EXERCISE and MULTICOMPONENT EXERCISE for Physical Therapy and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Loss of vestibular function occurs normally with healthy aging but can produce symptoms that reduce motor skills and cause falls. vestibular physical therapy (VPH) exercises are a specific approach to reducing imbalances. The multicomponent therapeutic physical exercise (ME) is an effective non-pharmacological strategy for the improvement of physical condition. Objective: to determine the efficacy of ME versus VPH for gait improvement. Material and method: a randomized clinical trial was carried out with two intervention groups , applying it to one VPH group and the other ME. The participants were residents of Geriatric Centers in the province of Seville, Spain with a score between 4 and 9 points according to the "Short Physical Performance Battery" scale (SPPB).
