Interventions enhanced physical performance and balance scores in individuals with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, highlighting their effectiveness.
The effect of nurse-directed interventions, including the Epley procedure and fall-prevention education, on physical performance and functional balance in patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is of interest. 50 participants were divided into an experimental group (Epley technique and mobility education) and a control group (standard care). After the intervention, the experimental group showed significant improvements in the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores, with a positive correlation (r = 0.38, p = 0.01) between physical performance and balance. Socio-demographic factors also influenced outcomes. Nurse-directed interventions were found to be effective, low-cost methods for improving function and reducing fall risk in BPPV patients.
