Abstract:
Objective:To observe the incidence and duration of dizziness after the successful manipulation of the posterior semicircular canals in otolith patients.Method:Our department of 2008-2012 outpatient manipulative reduction successful 80 cases of otolith disorders were divided into two groups: the young group (<55 years old) in 45 cases, the elderly group (over 55 years) in 35 cases, observe the incidence and duration of two groups of patients with dizziness. Result: The young group dizziness occurred in 12 cases(26.7%), dizziness duration (7.8±2.2) days; The incidence of dizziness in the elderly group was 45.7% (16/35), dizziness duration (12.6±2.4) days; the difference between the two groups in the incidence and duration of dizziness were statistically significant (P<0.05).
