Introduction: Vertigo is a symptom defined as the subjective perception of a rotational or translational movement without the presence of external stimuli, impacting the quality of life of those who suffer from it, generating limitations and/or disability. The most common cause of vertigo of peripheral origin is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). An instrument created to quantify the self-perceived disability of people who present this symptom is the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). Objective: to determine the degree of disability experienced by patients with BPPV, using the DHI questionnaire.
Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive, and retrospective study was conducted. 414 medical records (HC) of patients referred to vestibular rehabilitation
diagnosed with BPPV were reviewed from January 2011 to December 2022 in a Kinesiology clinic in the province of Buenos Aires.
Results: 140 HC were included. 77% women and 23% men with an average age of 61 (+/- 15.23SD). 128 subjects (91.42%) presented BPPV of the posterior canal; 10 from the horizontal channel (7.14%) and 2 from the previous channel (1.44%). 43% of the subjects represented a mild self-perceived disability, 38% as moderate and 19% as severe. The domain that is most affected is the Physical (82%) followed by the functional (46%) and ultimately the emotional (19%).
Conclusion: The 80% of the patients in this study presented a perception of disability between mild to moderate. The physical domain of the DHI was the most affected in this group of patients.
