Aging of vestibular function evaluated using correlational vestibular autorotation test.

3 Measurements of gait and balance with Tinnetti score and the number of falls have shown highly significant age-related changes every year. 4 Vestibular function is important for navigation, and is therefore highly relevant to the everyday lives of older people. 5 Evaluating with modified Romberg test, the prevalence of vestibular dysfunction showed a significant progression with age. 6 Elderly people with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo have a significantly higher recurrence rate of vertigo and need to minimize the potential morbidity of their falls. 7 Vestibular dysfunction can be caused by any pathology in vestibular end organs, including the three semicircular canals and otolith organs.
