Psychosocial factors are associated with community mobility and participation in persons with dizziness.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Among individuals with dizziness, there is an increased prevalence of psychosocial comorbidity compared to the general population. Increased psychosocial comorbidity among people with dizziness is associated with disability and poorer outcomes in vestibular rehabilitation. However, there is less knowledge regarding the association between psychosocial factors and mobility outcomes in people with dizziness. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the association between psychosocial factors and future activity, participation, and community mobility among people with dizziness. The secondary aim of this study was to explore the constructs measured using patient-reported outcomes associated with psychosocial factors in this population.
