The recruitment period was 6 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec specific-use=\"heading-level-1\">\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 569 patients (mean age 59.6 \u00b1 17.1 years, 55%\n females) and 100 healthy participants were included (response rate &gt; 90%).\n  Dizzy patients with central balance disorders (Parkinsonian, cerebellar, and\nbrainstem oculomotor syndromes) had the highest fall rates (&gt; 50%\nrecurrent fallers, odds ratio &gt; 10). The rate of recurrent fallers was 30%\nin bilateral vestibular failure and peripheral neuropathy (odds ratio &gt; 5).\nPatients with functional dizziness (somatoform or phobic vertigo) were\nconcerned about falling but did not fall more often than healthy controls\n(odds ratio 0.87).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec specific-use=\"heading-level-1\">\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Falls are common in patients presenting to a dizziness unit.\n Those with central syndromes are at risk of recurrent and injurious falling. Fall rates\nand fear of falling should be assessed in balance disorders and used to\nguide the regimen of rehabilitation therapy. The identification of risk\nfactors would help provide protective measures to these groups of patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3233\/ves-150564","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,8]],"date-time":"2016-02-08T07:31:35Z","timestamp":1454916695000},"page":"241-251","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":109,"title":["Falls and fear of falling in vertigo and balance disorders:  A controlled  cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Cornelia","family":"Schlick","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders,  University of Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roman","family":"Schniepp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders,  University of Munich, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Neurology, University Hospital of Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Verena","family":"Loidl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders,  University of Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Max","family":"Wuehr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders,  University of Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristin","family":"Hesselbarth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders,  University of Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klaus","family":"Jahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders,  University of Munich, Germany"},{"name":"Sch\u00f6n Klinik Bad Aibling, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,2]]},"container-title":["Journal of Vestibular Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3233\/VES-150564","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3233\/VES-150564","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T05:22:16Z","timestamp":1777612936000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.3233\/VES-150564"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,2]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5-6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.3233\/VES-150564"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/ves-150564","relation":{},"ISSN":["0957-4271","1878-6464"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0957-4271","type":"print"},{"value":"1878-6464","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,2]]}}}
