PURPOSE: The @entity1296 handicap inventory (DHI) is widely used to evaluate self-perceived handicap due to @entity1296 , and is known to correlate with vestibular function tests in chronic @entity1296 . However, whether DHI reflects subjective symptoms during the acute phase has not been studied. This study aims to investigate the correlations of subjective and objective measurements to highlight parameters that reflect the severity of @entity1296 during the first week of acute unilateral vestibulopathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-seven @entity1 with acute unilateral vestibulopathy were examined. @entity1 ' subjective perceptions of @entity1296 were measured using the DHI, @entity227 ( @entity227 ), Disability Scale (DS), and Activity-Specific Balance Scale (ABC). Additionally, the oculomotor tests, @entity5043 and sharpened @entity5043 tests, functional reach test, and dynamic visual acuity tests were performed. The correlation between the DHI and other tests was evaluated. RESULTS: DHI-total scores exhibited a moderately positive correlation with @entity227 and DS, and a moderately negative correlation with ABC. However, DHI-total score did not correlate with results of the @entity5043 , sharpened @entity5043 , or functional reach tests. When compared among four groups divided according to DHI scores, @entity227 and DS scores exhibited statistically significant differences, but no significant differences were detected for other test results. CONCLUSION: Our findings revealed that the DHI correlated significantly with self-perceived symptoms measured by @entity227 and DS, but not ABC. There was no significant correlation with other balance function tests during the first week of acute vestibulopathy. The results suggest that DHI, @entity227 and DS may be more useful to measure the severity of @entity697 .
