The primary purpose of this paper was to evaluate the ability of hospitalized seniors to use vestibular inputs for balance control. The secondary purpose was to examine the influence of vestibular function and lower limb muscle strength on mobility.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Experimental and correlation designs were used. Patients (aged 65\u201390\u2009years), preparing for discharge from an inpatient geriatric rehabilitation unit, were recruited. Vestibular control of standing balance was measured using the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction for Balance (CTSIB). Mobility was measured with the Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test. Lower limb muscle maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) strength was tested with portable dynamometry. Wilcoxon signed rank test, with alpha adjusted for multiple comparisons (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u20090.017), was used to compare relevant components of the CTSIB. Stepwise regression was used to assess the influence of vestibular impairment on TUG score.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>CTSIB<jats:sub>Test6<\/jats:sub> (median\u2009=\u20097.1\u2009seconds, range\u2009=\u20090.0\u201330.0) was less than CTSIB<jats:sub>Test1<\/jats:sub> (30.0\u2009seconds, 30.0\u201330.0) and CTSIB<jats:sub>Test4<\/jats:sub> (30.0\u2009seconds, 10.5\u201330.0) (W\u2009=\u2009136, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.017). MVIC scores (Nm\u00b7kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>, mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009SD) included hip abduction 0.38\u2009\u00b1\u20090.2, hip flexion 0.32\u2009\u00b1\u20090.1, hip extension 0.44\u2009\u00b1\u20090.2, knee flexion 0.31\u2009\u00b1\u20090.1, knee extension 0.33\u2009\u00b1\u20090.2, ankle dorsiflexion 0.12\u2009\u00b1\u20090.1 and ankle plantarflexion 0.23\u2009\u00b1\u20090.1. Mean TUG score was 26.1\u2009\u00b1\u20096.0\u2009seconds. Performance on CTSIB<jats:sub>Test6<\/jats:sub> explained 55% of the variance in TUG scores, whereas hip extension strength explained an additional 6%.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Seniors awaiting discharge from hospital had impaired vestibular control of balance that was systematically associated with impaired mobility. Evaluating vestibular function prior to discharge from hospital could improve discharge planning with respect to management of impairments that threaten balance and safe mobility.
