Resumen
Introducción y Objetivos:

Analizar y caracterizar la prueba "Timed-up-and-go" en pacientes con vértigo sin caídas. Estudiar si el giro hacia el lado de la lesión durante la realización de esta prueba induce una desestabilización mayor en estos pacientes.

Material y Métodos:

La prueba se realiza tras explicar a los pacientes la metodología y hacer un intento. Los parámetros posturales analizados son el desplazamiento y velocidad de desplazamiento angular del tronco con un equipo adaptado a la espalda que consta de dos sensores para el registro y análisis del movimiento angular.

Conclusiones:

Los pacientes con vértigo sin caídas realizan esta prueba en un plazo de tiempo correcto; la prueba no se ve alterada por la existencia de una paresia canalicular y ésta sólo influye en un mayor balanceo lateral del tronco cuando los giros se realizan hacia el lado sano.

Palabras clave:
Inestabilidad
Posturografía
Caídas
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.

Key words:
Dizziness
Posturography
Falls
