Abstract

Objective Falling is one of the major problems in the elderly and it is considered as one of the “Geriatric Giants”. Recurrent FALLS are an important cause of mortality in this group and is a marker of poor physical and cognitive status. The aim of the present study is to compare the VNG (Videonystagmography) test results in ADULTS with and without FALLS history.Materials & Methods 60 ADULTS (30 with one or more FALLS history and 30 without any FALLS history) above 65 years old participated in this study. They performed the VNG subtests included saccade, gaze, smooth pursuit, positional nystagmus, spontaneous nystagmus and caloric at rehabilitation faculty of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. After post-test, SPSS software, version 19 was used for data analysis. The statistical indices such as mean and standard deviation were used for describing variables and the paired t-test was applied to compare conjugate variable. In order to compare abnormal data, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used.Results According to the data 74% of the faller group showed abnormal performance in the caloric subtest and more than 60% had abnormal results in the saccade, gaze and smooth pursuit subtests too (P>0.05). The members who suffered from central vestibular disorders had worse function than the others who suffered from peripheral vestibular ones.Conclusion The non- faller group had better performance than the faller group in all of the subtests which indicates better vestibular system status in this group. According to the results, VNG performance can help guide the clinicians in the development of a safe exercise program.
