Resumo
Objetivo: verificar a resposta dos parâmetros estabilométricos à manobra de reposicionamento de Epley em indivíduos com VPPB previamente confirmada através da manobra de Dix-Hallpike.
Métodos: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo e experimental, que incluiu pacientes com VPPB, com nistagmo de posicionamento à prova de Dix-Hallpike, avaliados em 2008, no Ambulatório Multidisciplinar de Vertigem, que foram submetidos à manobra de reposicionamento de Epley e avaliados por meio do exame estabilométrico, antes e após a manobra.
Resultados: Os 13 indivíduos do gênero feminino com idades entre 15 e 78 anos com diagnóstico de VPPB que foram selecionados para a pesquisa apresentaram melhora estatisticamente significante em relação ao equilíbrio postural após a manobra de Epley, em todos os parâmetros analisados, nos dois exames realizados.
Conclusão: nesta pesquisa a manobra de Epley mostrou ser um procedimento de importante intervenção para melhora das respostas do equilíbrio postural nos indivíduos com VPPB, avaliados por meio da estabilometria.

Abstract
Purpose: to evaluate the stabilometry parameters after Epley's maneuver in individuals with BPPV previously confirmed through Dix-Hallpike maneuver.
Methods: an experimental study which included patients with BPPV with positional nystagmus taking Dix-Hallpike's test and assessed in 2008, at the Multidisciplinary Vertigo Ambulatory, and who were also submitted to Epley's maneuver and assessed as for their postural balance through a stabilometry exam, both before and after such maneuver.
Results: the 13 female subjects with ages ranging from 15 to 78 years with previously confirmed BPPV, who were selected for the research, showed a significant statistically improvement regarding their postural balance after Epley's maneuver in all analyzed parameters as for both exams.
Conclusion: in this research the Epley's maneuver was shown as a procedure of important intervention for improving the answers of postural balance in individuals with BPPV evaluated by the stabilometry.
