Abstract
Introduction and Objectives:To characterize and analyze the "Timed-up-and-go" test in non-fallers patients with peripheral vertigo. To assess if turning to the side of the lesion induces a more intense instability. Material and Methods:The test was performed after carefully explanation to the patient who was allowed to do some attempts. Postural measurements were the angle and angular speed of trunk sway in roll and pitch. It was done with a special device adapted to the trunk with two sensors specially built for that purpose. Conclusions:Dizzy, non-fallers patients perform this test in a period of time considered as normal. Canal paresis influences in roll trunk sway when the patient performs the TUG only when turning to the normal side.
