The Importance of Frailty in Older Adults With Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo.

Background And Purpose: Even though Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most reported vestibular disorders, its interaction with frailty and postural control in older adults is hardly or not investigated.

Methods: Thirty-seven older adults (≥65 years) with a diagnosis of BPPV (oaBPPV) (mean age 73.13 (4.

Physical Activity and Frailty Are Impaired in Older Adults with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

: Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo (BPPV), diagnosed in 46% of older adults with complaints of dizziness, causes movement-related vertigo. This case-control study compared physical activity, frailty and subjective well-being between older adults with BPPV (oaBPPV) and controls. : Thirty-seven oaBPPV (mean age 73.

Several components of postural control are affected by benign paroxysmal positional vertigo but improve after particle-repositioning maneuvers: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is a vestibular disorder causing vertigo and imbalance. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to explore the impact of benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo and repositioning maneuvers on postural control.

Data Sources: In September 2024, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and reference lists of included studies were systematically searched.

Gait and Falls in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background And Purpose: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common vestibular disorders, and is treated effectively with particle repositioning maneuvers (PRM). The aim of this study was to assess the influence of BPPV and treatment effects of PRM on gait, falls, and fear of falling.

Methods: Three databases and the reference lists of included articles were systematically searched for studies comparing gait and/or falls between (1) people with BPPV (pwBPPV) and controls and (2) pre- and posttreatment with PRM.

Frailty Test Battery Development including Physical, Socio-Psychological and Cognitive Domains for Cardiovascular Disease Patients: A Preliminary Study.

Frailty is an age-related decline in physical, socio-psychological and cognitive function that results in extreme vulnerability to stressors. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate which tests have to be selected to detect frailty in a comprehensive and feasible manner in cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients based on multivariate regression and sensitivity/specificity analyses. Patients ( = 133, mean age 78 ± 7 years) hospitalised for coronary revascularisation or heart failure (HF) were examined using the Fried and Vigorito criteria, together with some additional measurements.
