Rehabilitation concept
Definition:
"A set of measures that assist individuals who
experience, or are likely to experience, disability to
achieve and maintain optimal functioning in
interaction with their environment”
- WHO
![Page 4: Advanced Rehabilitation in Otology](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062320/55a205701a28abdf648b467b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Who is in need of rehabilitation?
❖ Impairment: loss/abnormality of function
❖ Disability: reduction/lack ability to perform within normal range
❖ Handicap: disadvantages from either limit fulfillment of normal role
❖ Functional limitation: loss of ability to perform tasks/obligations of
usual role/normal daily life
❖ Chronic illness: irreversible presence, accumulation or latency of
disease states/impairments that involve total human environment

❖ If yes is it for a peripheral or central vestibular disease?
❖ If peripheral vestibular disease, which one? - Common
thing occur commonly
❖ Is it treatable by medical or surgical means, or is
rehabilitation needed?
❖ Which rehabilitation method should be employed and
how often?

Cochlear Hydrops Analysis Masking Procedure (CHAMP)
❖ Modified standard ABR with click stimulus mixed with increasing
high-pass masking noise
❖ Cut off frequency of the masking successively lowered from one
runs to another, progressively masking lower frequency freq.
regions of cochlea
❖ Interpretation:
❖ Normal: latency of wave V prolonged with increasing masking
❖ Cochlear Hydrops: Little or no shift in latency of Wave V

Advances in Vestibular Rehabilitation
❖ Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
❖ stable lesion, incomplete recovery
❖ Surgery / Vestibular Implants
❖ Unstable lesion, episodic, spontaneous
![Page 64: Advanced Rehabilitation in Otology](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062320/55a205701a28abdf648b467b/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Vestibular RT - Basis
❖ Physical Therapy
❖ uses specialized
individualized exercises that
>> gaze/gait stabilization
❖ Use existing neural mechanisms
in human brain for adaptation,
plasticity and compensation
❖ Exercises: habituation, CRP,
VOR, static/dynamic balance
exercises
Ankle Stabilization Strategy

Goals of VRT
• Improve balance
• Minimize falls
• Decrease subjective sensations of
dizziness
• Improve stability during
locomotion
• Reduce overdependency on visual
and somatosensory inputs
• Improve neuromuscular
coordination
• Decrease anxiety and
somatization due to vestibular
disorientation Head Stabilization Strategy

VRT - What is New?
❖ Use of Virtual Reality in VRT
❖ Customized VRT programs can be provided
❖ Situations that cause difficulty in everyday living can
be artificially recreated to help >> vestibular
compensation
❖ Exercises can also be admitted remotely

Virtual Reality Screen Interfaces
❖ Feedback-centered interaction
❖ e.g. threadmill training in front of a screen
❖ Gesture-based interaction
❖ e.g. specialized camera to capture point of reference of a target
during several motions/captured image projected in real time to
facilitate interaction btw target/virtual environment (like Wii)
❖ Haptic stimuli-based interaction
❖ enables user to perceive mechanical stimuli inside a virtual
environment (like sensory gloves)

❖ Implanted component either connected
extravestibular or intravestibular (within the
SCC)
❖ External component has gyroscopes and
accelerometers that register and process head
movements.

Regeneration Medicine & Otology
❖ Stem cells research attempts to reconcile ‘Why HCs
regenerate in birds but not in mammals’ was driving force
❖ Several centers in USA / Japan at forefront of
groundbreaking research that could provide ‘cure’ for
hearing loss
❖ Autologous marrow cells / cord blood stem cells have been
implanted into inner ear of lab animals*
❖ Challenges have been getting regenerated stem cells to link
up with auditory nerve

Summary
❖ Otology has advanced, and will continue to advance
based on available medical technology at each age
❖ Our ability to key in and keep abreast of advances in
otology will rely on how much we interface otology with
advances in medical technology
❖ Otolaryngologists should get out of their secluded
pedestal and team up with basic scientists /
technologists to help advance Otology
