Change of gait after unilateral vestibular neuritis: a prospective longitudinal observation study

Abstract Although symptoms of unilateral vestibular neuritis (uVN) resolve spontaneously within several weeks, recovery of gait function has unclearness in gait parameter changes and mediolateral stability improvements. In addition, prospective longitudinal studies on gait parameters after uVN are l...

Twenty three participants with uVN and 20 controls were included. 3D gait analyses were conducted three times after uVN onset at monthly intervals.

The step width of participants with uVN was significantly larger than that of control in the 1st test and improved significantly in the 2nd test. Variability of IA in affected side was significantly larger than that in controls in the 1st test and improved significantly in the 3rd test compared to the 1st test. Improvement of overall gait function and mediolateral stability during gait continued after acute stage of uVN (two months from onset in this study).
