Résumé

Introduction-Objectives. We analyze the importance of a sample of clinical tests of balance and the static posturography (SP) in the valuation of the number of falls in elders with and vithout vestibular disorders. Material and method. 120 elders from 65 to 80 years old were studied (60 with vestibular disorders and 60 as controls). We included the number of falls suffered during the previous year to the study. They did 4 clinical tests (one leg standing with opened eyes, Timed Up and Go test, Tinetti Test and Berg Test) and a SP with the NedSVE/IBV system, including four conditions: Opened Eyes Romberg (OER), Closed Eyes (CER), on Foam Opened Eyes (FOR) and on Foam Closed Eyes (FCR). Results. The patients suffered more number of falls than the control group subjects (p = .006). The only parameter of the SP that related to the number of falls was the Maximum Anteroposterior Displacement in the OER condition (CP = .159; p = .034). Clinical tests were correlated by the number of falls of the sample. Berg test got the best correlation (CP = –.327; p = .000). Conclusions. Elders with vestibular disorders had significantly more number of falls than the control group subjects. There weren’t differences among the clinical subgroups. The clinical tests got major value than the SP in the valuation of the number of falls of the studied sample.
