In conclusion, the Italian versions of DHI, SVQ, and ABC are reliable and valid questionnaires for assessing the impact of dizziness on the quality of life of Italian patients with peripheral or central vestibular deficit.Īctivity-specific Balance Confidence scale Dizziness Handicap Inventory Situational Vertigo Questionnaire questionnaires vertigo vestibular. Conclusion: There was an improvement in DHI questionnaire score before and after 6 weeks VRT. Correlations with clinical variables suggested that they can be used as a complementary tool for the assessment of vestibular symptoms. physical, emotional and functional, with the total score ranging from 0 to 100.
This pilot study was carried out between January 2009 and. DHI-E contains 25 questions which are categorized into three subscales i.e. Validity was confirmed by correlation test between questionnaire scores. General practice Dizziness Vertigo Dizziness Handicap Inventory What is new The most used method to measure vestibular symptoms such as vertigo and dizziness is the 25-item Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) questionnaire, but the abbreviated 10-item DHI-S questionnaire is more suitable for daily clinical practice. INSTRUCTIONS: The purpose of this questionnaire is to identify difficulties that you may be experiencing because of your dizziness. Methods:The Arabic version of the DHI was developed using the standard protocol for test translation. Lower Extremity Questionnaire (LEFS) Upper Extremity Questionnaire (DASH) Oswestry Low Back Disability Questionnaire.
Cronbach's coefficient alpha, the homogeneity index, and test-retest reproducibility, confirmed reliability of the Italian version of the three questionnaires. We translated and validated the reliability and validity of the DHI, the Situational Vertigo Questionnaire (SVQ), and the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) in 316 Italian patients complaining of dizziness due either to a peripheral or to a central vestibular deficit, or in whom vestibular signs were undetectable by means of instrumental testing or clinical evaluation. Objective: The purpose of the study was to describe the variations in signs and symptoms in people with persistent dizziness using physical tests and self-reported outcomes across three severity levels of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and investigate their associations with the DHI. The literature provides many questionnaires to assess the outcome of rehabilitation programs for disequilibrium, but only for the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) is an Italian translation available, validated on a small group of patients suffering from a peripheral acute vertigo. Background: The DHI is a widely used questionnaire for the evaluation of the self-reported disability in patients with dizziness and balance problems. Neurophysiological measurements of the vestibular function for diagnosis and follow-up evaluations provide an objective assessment, which, unfortunately, does not necessarily correlate with the patients' self-feeling. Inventory (DHI) is a commonly used questionnaire to assess self-perceived handicap among individuals with dizziness.
