[Myringoplasty and its effect on a vestibular function in patients with otitis media purulenta chronica (OMPC)].

A complex vestibulologic and audiologic examination was made in 25 patients with OMPC free of mesotympanitis before and after experimental myringoplasty with hen's egg amnion. The patients were divided into two groups depending on the presence of vestibular complaints. Partial or complete disappearance of subjective vestibular symptoms, reduced stimulation of the vestibular receptors (by 19%, on the average) were detected by experimental vestibular tests on the side of the affected ear. The asymmetry coefficient by labyrinth lowered by 31.1%, on the average.

[Criteria of predicting efficacy of vestibulo-adaptive therapy in patients with equilibrium disturbances].

Effects of some factors on efficacy of vestibulo-adaptive therapy were analysed for 109 patients with equilibrium dysfunction. Efficacy of vestibulo-adaptive therapy is shown to depend on location of the vestibular analyser lesion, involvement of alternative sensory systems providing information on spatial position of the body, duration of the vestibular analyzer affection, determination of the patient to adhere to the program of physical rehabilitation.

[Mechanisms of physical rehabilitation of patients with vestibular disorders].

The following methods of rehabilitation of patients with equilibrium disturbance have been analysed: 1) nonspecific exercise; 2) specific physical training to enhance the flow of impulses providing formation of the mechanism of the vestibular function compensation at the subconscious level; 3) specific training on the stabilographic platform based on the biological feedback principle. It was found that the most effective recovery of the statokinetic function was achieved under combination of the above methods. The effect manifested both in subjective improvement of the patients' general condition and objective response as shown by functional computed stabilometry.

[Biological feedback techniques in rehabilitation of patients with impaired equilibrium function].

Vestibular rehabilitation with application of biological feedback methods has been performed in 25 patients with vestibular disorders. In them, an objective method of functional computer stabilometry verified equilibrium disturbance. Compared to the control group of 30 patients treated conventionally with drugs, biological feedback methods proved high effectiveness.

[Equilibrium function in patients with acute sensorineural hearing loss].

Equilibrium function was investigated with computer-assisted stabilography (CS) in patients with acute neurosensory hypoacusis. This new diagnostic tool was employed in combination with extended vestibulometric and audiologic examinations. Correlations were found between stabilographic and vestibulometric findings. CS is recommended as a method of screening diagnosis in examination of patients with imbalanced equilibrium.

[Vestibular disorders in presenile and senile patients].

Vestibular function and dynamic vision were studied in healthy subjects over 60 years of age using functional tests based on computer stabilography. The vestibuloocular reflex was analysed in the test with highly active head shaking. A decline in vestibular function efficiency, somatosensory dissociations were found. Specific features of vestibuloocular interaction in the older patients are shown.
