Efficacy of Vestibular Physiotherapy Against Multi-component Exercise in Functional Improvement in the Elderly
A study testing Experimental: VESTIBULAR EXERCISE and MULTICOMPONENT EXERCISE in people with Physical Therapy and Sports Physical Therapy, run by University of Seville at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
Loss of vestibular function occurs normally with healthy aging but can produce symptoms that reduce motor skills and cause falls. vestibular physical therapy (VPH) exercises are a specific approach to reducing imbalances. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Efficacy of Vestibular Physiotherapy Against Multi-component Exercise in Functional Improvement in the Elderly": Pilot Study of a Randomized Clinical Trial
Loss of vestibular function occurs normally with healthy aging but can produce symptoms that reduce motor skills and cause falls. vestibular physical therapy (VPH) exercises are a specific approach to reducing imbalances. The multicomponent therapeutic physical exercise (ME) is an effective non-pharmacological strategy for the improvement of physical condition.
Objective: to determine the efficacy of ME versus VPH for gait improvement. Material and method: a randomized clinical trial was carried out with two intervention groups , applying it to one VPH group and the other ME.
The participants were residents of Geriatric Centers in the province of Seville, Spain with a score between 4 and 9 points according to the "Short Physical Performance Battery" scale (SPPB).
Read the detailed description
This pilot study is a controlled and randomized clinical trial (simple ER) with two groups in parallel, comparing the combination of a multi-component therapeutic exercise protocol (ME) versus vestibular exercises (VPH) in over 70 years. The trial was approved by the Ethics Committee on Research with code 2410-N-19 and the study was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| VESTIBULAR EXERCISE at home telerehabilitation | Experimental | 1. The vestibular exercises were performed with the indications of a physical therapist, in sessions of about 20 minutes with 5 times per week (Monday to Friday) consisting of 5 repetitions ensuring the following were not overworked:
1. Head and eye movements while sitting.
2. Head and body movements while sitting.
3. Paused exercises.
4. Combined exercises of modifications on rungs, unstable surfaces and walking exercises. Receives: Procedure: Experimental: VESTIBULAR EXERCISE |
| MULTICOMPONENT EXERCISE at home telerehabilitaion | Experimental | 1. A 6-week multi-component therapeutic physical exercise program was carried out. The ministerial guide and the "Vivifrail" consensus was followed (25, 26). There were 5 daily sessions per week (Monday to Friday), each lasting approximately 45 minutes. These sessions were conducted following the instructions of a physical therapist. VIVIFRAIL exercises are intended to be used over a progression period of up to 12 weeks, with combined exercises by days in cardiovascular aerobic balance strength and flexibility.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Movement Capacity: SPPB (Short Physical Performance Battery) Physical Function Valuation Battery
The SPPB fitness rating battery consists of three parts: Balance rating, 4 metre gait assessment rating and the Time up and go test (TUG). From 0 (bad) to 12 (well) there is a score which describes de functionality
Measured: Change from Baseline at 6 weeks
Speed test
Speed test. A participants walking speed over a 4 metre distance. This is a continuous quantitative variable measured in meters per second (m/s).
Measured: Change from Baseline at 6 weeks
Test Time up and Go
The participants try to stand up and wlak 3 metres and return sitting. We must record the time.
- This is a continuous quantitative variable measured in seconds.
Measured: Change from Baseline at 6 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Experimental: VESTIBULAR EXERCISE and MULTICOMPONENT EXERCISE in people with Physical Therapy and Sports Physical Therapy, run by University of Seville at 1 site in Spain.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Movement Capacity: SPPB (Short Physical Performance Battery) Physical Function Valuation Battery (time frame: Change from Baseline at 6 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04690777, which also lists 17 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jun 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
