@entity388 ( @entity388 ) is a caloric vestibular areflexia that occurs suddenly, and whose compensation can take several weeks, sometimes several months. Usually these @entity1 are rehabilitated, but the most affected @entity1 (cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) absent) have a worse prognosis of @entity2194 . Thanks to symptomatic, videographic and posturographic evaluation tools, we objectify and quantify which factors influence the recovery or more accurately the compensation of this @entity74 . EQUIPMENT AND METHOD: We have colligated 34 observations of @entity388 whose beginning could be precisely dated. These 34 unilateral caloric areflexic @entity1 had a @entity304 ( @entity304 ) with scales (vertigo symptom scale, dizziness handicap inventory, short form 36), an evaluation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) (spontaneous nystagmus, head shaking test, mastoid bone skull vibration test, and finally an evaluation of the vestibulo-spinal function (VSF) on a dynamic posturography platform (DPY). On the other hand were evaluated eight elements supposed to influence (influence factors FI) the care and/or the outcome of the treatment (age, cVEMP absent, duration of deficiency, sports and walk practice, rehabilitation of VOR, rehabilitation of VSF, waiting period before application of rehabilitation, vertigo medications treatment). RESULTS: By comparing averages and with a Fischer's exact test, we can show here that the medical treatment, the waiting period before the application of the rehabilitation, the number of rehabilitation sessions or the type of rehabilitation influence only partially the state of health of @entity5013 . The age of the @entity1 and absent cVEMP don't have a major influence either. However, @entity1 with the most important physical activity feel better from a symptomatic point of view, over a long period after the episode. The effect of rehabilitation might be temporary if daily activity is minimal. CONCLUSION: The evaluation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex has long remained the main element for the evaluation of the state of health of @entity388 . But if you use in addition posturography and symptomatic scales to assess the state of health, the @entity5013 considered to be compensated with the VOR will not always be symptomatically compensated. Estimating the functional recovery of @entity5013 can't be limited to estimating or quantifying the VOR. @entity5013 can't be limited to rehabilitating the VOR. Finally we show here that physical activity is probably more necessary than any type of rehabilitation.
