Age-Related Vestibular Dysfunction with Motion Sensitive Vertigo and Risk of Fall in Adults

Abstract

Background: This ageing is physiological process associated with vestibular dysfunction. The incidence of vestibular problems increases with age and can lead to drops, dropping risk, lack of confidence, pain and depression. Vestibular disorder is commonly characterized by vertigo or body discomfort (look and aggravation of postural stability) (a sense of spinning movement). In older adults with a fall history, peripheral vestibular disorders are among the most frequently known and widespread vestibular dysfunctions. Aim: To associate vestibular dysfunction and motion sensitive vertigo and risk of fall in adults. Methodology: Cross sectional study with convenient non- random sampling. For tests has been applied for screening vestibular dysfunction. If a participant shows 2 tests positive have vestibular dysfunction. SPSS 21 is used for data analysis. Results: Highly significant results between association of age with motion sensitive and age with fall efficacy scale P value is less than 5. Results are also significant between MSQ and FES-1. Conclusion: After conducting this research it has been concluded. That age-related vestibular dysfunction significantly associated with motion sensitive vertigo and risk of fall. As with the age people are more concerned about fall Keywords: vestibular dysfunction, vertigo, risk of fall in adults
