ABSTRACT
Background: This ageing is physiological process
associated with vestibular dysfunction. The incidence of vestibular problems
increases with age and can lead to drops, dropping risk, lack of confidence,
pain and depression. Vestibular disorder is commonly characterized by vertigo
or body discomfort (look and aggravation of postural stability) (a sense of
spinning movement). In older adults with a fall history, peripheral vestibular
disorders are among the most frequently known and widespread vestibular
dysfunctions.
Aim: To associate vestibular dysfunction and
motion sensitive vertigo and risk of fall in adults.
Methodology: Cross sectional study with convenient non-
random sampling. For tests has been applied for screening vestibular
dysfunction. If a participant shows 2 tests positive have vestibular
dysfunction. SPSS 21 is used for data analysis.
Results: Highly significant results between
association of age with motion sensitive and age with fall efficacy scale P
value is less than 5. Results are also significant between MSQ and FES-1.
Conclusion: After conducting this research it has been
concluded. That age-related vestibular dysfunction significantly associated
with motion sensitive vertigo and risk of fall. As with the age people are more
concerned about fall
