Resumo
Dizziness might involve negative consequences for patient's quality of life, once it can be associated or aggravated by psycho disorders, reflecting also a fear of falling during their daily life activities. This study aimed to verify the relation between emotional aspects and risk of fall in vestibulopathic patients through the comparison of different clinical instruments. We conclude that the risk of fall assessment tools and emotional aspects protocols are effective to explore the relation between functional balance and emotional aspects. They can be complementary for a better prognosis.
