Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In patients with auditory nerve tumours causing vestibular disfunction, the larger the tumour size, the more unstable the gait. When vestibular oculomotor reflexes were measured by video head impulse test, patients with vestibular disfunction had catch-up saccades. Vestibular evoked myogenic potential tests showed that patients with semi-circular canal disfunction tended to have unstable gait parameters.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
前庭障害によるめまいやふらつきに対する治療として前庭リハビリテーションの有効性が報告されているが、現在臨床的に用いられている平衡機能検査では自覚症状と平衡機能の改善に乖離が見られることがしばしばある。携帯型歩行計を用いた定量的歩行検査を臨床応用できれば前庭障害患者の病態評価及び治療の効果判定について有用な検査となることが期待される。
