Recovery of dynamic visual acuity in bilateral vestibular hypofunction.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of vestibular exercises on the recovery of visual acuity during head movement in patients with bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH). DESIGN Prospective, randomized, double-blinded study. SETTING Outpatient clinic, academic setting. PATIENTS Thirteen patients with BVH, aged 47 to 73 years. INTERVENTION One group (8 patients) performed vestibular exerc...

متن کاملRestoring Visual Acuity in Dynamic Conditions with a Vestibular Implant
Vestibular implants are devices designed to rehabilitate patients with a bilateral vestibular loss (BVL). These patients lack a properly functioning vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), which impairs gaze stabilization abilities and results in an abnormal loss of visual acuity (VA) in dynamic situations (i.e., severely limiting the patient's ability to read signs or recognize faces while walking). We...
متن کاملVestibular rehabilitation with visual stimuli in peripheral vestibular disorders.
INTRODUCTION Visual stimuli can induce vestibular adaptation and recovery of body balance. OBJECTIVE To verify the effect of visual stimuli by digital images on vestibular and body balance rehabilitation of peripheral vestibular disorders. METHODS Clinical, randomized, prospective study. Forty patients aged between 23 and 63 years with chronic peripheral vestibular disorders underwent 12 se...
متن کاملComputerized dynamic visual acuity with volitional head movement in patients with vestibular dysfunction.
OBJECTIVES Patients with uncompensated vestibular dysfunction frequently report blurred vision during head movement, a symptom termed oscillopsia. One way to measure the functional deficit associated with an impaired vestibulo-ocular reflex is by comparing visual acuity from a baseline condition in which there is no head movement to visual acuity obtained during a dynamic condition with head mo...
