Summary

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of vestibular rehabilitation on metabolic aspects when evaluated by means of bioelectrical impedenzometry analysis, smart watch device and actigraphy in a group of vestibular hypofunction patients previously studied by means of video head impulse test, posturography and clinical validated scales

Detailed description

Recent advances in the field of vestibular-related disorders demonstrated that such conditions may interfere on different pathways underpinning metabolic behaviour, daily life activities and also chronotype behaviour. However, no studies evaluated how vestibular rehabilitation procedures - well established in literature - may interfere on these vestibular-related disorders. On the other side, recent advances in portable bioelectrical impedenzometry devices, smart watches devised to evaluate energy expenditure during daily life activities and actigraphy devices demonstrated to be useful in continuously monitoring different aspects of metabolic, activity and sleep behaviour. Thus, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of vestibular rehabilitation on metabolic aspects when evaluated by means bioelectrical impedenzometry analysis, smart watch device and actigraphy in a group of vestibular hypofunction patients previously studied by means of video head impulse test, posturography and clinically validated scales

Conditions

• Vestibular Disorder
• Metabolic Disease
• Sleep Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Vestibular Rehabilitation	The home exercise schedule consists of a patient-tailored association of adaptation (without and with the target moving on pitch and yaw planes for 1 min each three times per day), substitution, habituation, and balance and gait exercises. All the unilateral vestibular hypofunction patients will be followed in the clinic twice a week for 4 weeks for 30-45 min and evaluated for adherence. Between supervised sessions, patients will perform a twice-daily home exercise plan for a total of 30-40 min/day
