Abstract

Background: Avoidance of activities that trigger dizziness in persons with vestibular disorders may inhibit dynamic vestibular compensation mechanisms.

Objective: To determine the reliability of the Vestibular Activities Avoidance Instrument (VAAI) 81 and 9 item tool and to compare the VAAI scores in Dutch-speaking healthy adults and in patients with vestibular disorders.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted including 151 healthy participants and 106 participants with dizziness. All participants completed the 81-item VAAI. Within 7 days, the VAAI was completed a second time by 102 healthy adults and 43 persons with dizziness.

Results: The average 81-item VAAI scores [54.8(47.1) vs. 228.1(78.3)] and 9-item VAAI scores [2.4(5.9) vs. 28.1(12)] were significantly different between healthy adults and participants with dizziness (p < 0.001). In participants with dizziness the ICC for the 81-item VAAI was 0.95 (95% CI: 0.91, 0.97) and for the 9-item VAAI was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.85, 0.95). Cronbach's alpha for the 81-item VAAI was 0.97 and 0.85 for the 9-item VAAI. The minimal detectable change was 47.8 for the 81-item VAAI and 8.9 for the 9-item VAAI.

Conclusions: Persons with dizziness have a greater tendency to avoid movements. Both test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the Dutch version of the VAAI were excellent.

荷兰版前庭活动避免仪在有和无头晕人群中的可靠性。

背景:前庭疾病患者避免引起头晕的活动可能会抑制动态前庭代偿机制。目的:确定前庭活动回避量表(VAAI) 81和9项工具的可靠性，并比较荷兰语健康成人和前庭功能障碍患者的VAAI评分。方法:采用前瞻性队列研究，包括151名健康受试者和106名头晕患者。所有参与者都完成了81项VAAI。在7天内，102名健康成人和43名头晕患者第二次完成了VAAI。结果:81项VAAI平均得分[54.8(47.1)比228.1(78.3)]和9项VAAI平均得分[2.4(5.9)比28.1(12)]在健康成人和头晕参与者之间存在显著差异(p)。结论:头晕者更倾向于避免运动。荷兰版VAAI的重测信度和内部一致性都很好。

期刊介绍： Journal of Vestibular Research is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes experimental and observational studies, review papers, and theoretical papers based on current knowledge of the vestibular system. Subjects of the studies can include experimental animals, normal humans, and humans with vestibular or other related disorders. Study topics can include the following: Anatomy of the vestibular system, including vestibulo-ocular, vestibulo-spinal, and vestibulo-autonomic pathways Balance disorders Neurochemistry and neuropharmacology of balance, both at the systems and single neuron level Neurophysiology of balance, including the vestibular, ocular motor, autonomic, and postural control systems Psychophysics of spatial orientation Space and motion sickness Vestibular rehabilitation Vestibular-related human performance in various environments
