ABSTRACT

Background: Vertigo represents a vestibular disorder with a negative impact on the activities of the patients and is a special problem due to the difficulties in diagnosis and because it is a symptom of difficult assessment. Vestibular rehabilitation is an effective alternative for people suffering from vestibular disorders and have an instrument that evaluate the perception of the patient’s disability upon admission of their treatment will allow the design of an appropriate therapy according to the degree of disability. The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) is a tool of American origin, useful for measuring the disability associated with vertigo.
Objetive: To perform the translation and validation of DHI in Central Military Hospital patients.
Material and Method: An observational, analytical, prospective and longitudinal study was performed from March to October 2016 with patients referred by the Otorhinolaryngology department for vestibular rehabilitation. The translation and cultural adaptation of the DHI was carried out and it was applied to patients upon admission to the rehabilitation service. The internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha index) was assessed globally and in each of the dimensions.
Results: During the period study 73 patients were referred by the Otorhinolaryngology department to Rehabilitation service with symptoms of vertigo for beginning vestibular therapy, obtaining a total Cronbach’s alpha of 0.92, for functional domain 0.83, for emotional domain 0.81 and for physical domain 0.80. There were no differences
Conclusion: The Mexican version of the DHI is a reliable and valid tool to evaluate the impact of the perceived disability in patients with vertigo of the Central Military Hospital.
