A fundamental study of efficacy of repeated stimulation to the vestibular organ in cases with vertigo and dysequilibrium.

自Cawthorn， Cooksey (1946), MacCabe（1970）和Dix（1979）以来，前庭末梢器官反复刺激前庭末梢器官被认为是缓解患者眩晕发作的有效方法。本研究采用前庭、视觉和本体感觉输入重复组合的两种训练方法，对外周前庭障碍和中枢障碍患者进行训练。利用MS-DOS和N88-Basic辅助数据库对患者的方案进行评估，包括患者的眩晕量表、平衡测试结果和听力学。通过治疗前后连续眩晕发作间隔时间平均值的显著性差异，对复发性眩晕发作（如梅尼埃病）患者治疗后的病情进行统计评价。本文对4例前庭神经炎患者和25例眩晕发作患者进行了一系列运动治疗，效果较好。本文对28篇有关前庭运动的文献进行了综述。在未来的研究中，还设计了一系列拉伸运动。

Repeated stimulation to the vestibular end organ in patients, who are suffering from vertiginous attacks of the peripheral vestibular origin is supposed to be effective for the relief of the patient's complaint since Cawthorn, Cooksey (1946), MacCabe (1970) and Dix (1979). In this study, two kinds of excercises, which were combined methods consisted with repetition of vestibular, visual and proprioceptive input, were applied to the cases with peripheral vestibular disorders and central disturbance. A data base assisted by "MS-DOS" and "N88-Basic" concerning the protocols of patients, including patient's vertiginous scale, findings in equilibrium tests and audiometry was utilized to evaluate the efficacy of vestibular trainings. A statistical evaluation of patient's condition after treatment in cases with recurrent vertiginous attacks, for example in Meniere's disease, was investigated by the significant difference between the mean values of the interval time of successive attacks before and after treatment. A series of excersises for 4 patients with vestibular neuronitis and 25 cases with attacks of vertigo revealed fairly good results to give the patients relief. A review of 28 literatures concerning with vestibular excersise was added. For future's study, a series of stretch-excersises was also devised.
