UNLABELLED: Posturography has been used in the evaluation of patients with vestibular disorders.
AIM: To evaluate balance control with the Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU) posturography in patients with Menière's disease.
STUDY DESIGN: Prospective case-control.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: 30 patients diagnosed with Menière's disease and a control group consisting of 40 healthy matching individuals in relation to age and gender, were submitted to a balance function evaluation by means of a Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU) posturography.
RESULTS: Comparing patients with Menière's disease and the control group, we found significant differences between the values of the sway speed in the static force plate, down optokinetic stimulation (p=0.038) and horizontal visual vestibular interaction (p=0.049); and of the ellipse area in the static force plate, eyes closed (p=0.001); left optokinetic stimulation (p=0.007); down optokinetic stimulation (p=0.003); horizontal visual vestibular interaction (p=0.003); and vertical visual vestibular interaction (p=0.028).
CONCLUSION: The postural control assessment with the Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRU) posturography enables the identification of sway speed and ellipse area abnormalities in patients with Menière's disease.
