Introduction: 

Menière’s disease is a condition that presents dizziness, hearing loss, tinnitus and aural fullness. 

To evaluate the body balance of patients with Meniere's disease by means of a static posturography. Method: An experimental group with 34 patients diagnosed with defined Menière's disease and a control group with 34 healthy individuals, were submitted to posturography of the Tetrax Interactive Balance System (Tetrax IBSTM) in eight sensory conditions. The parameters analyzed were: stability index; weight distribution index; synchronization index of right / left postural and toe / heel oscillation; postural oscillation frequency; and fall risk index. 

Results: 

The stability index was higher in the experimental group with a significant difference between the groups in all sensory conditions tested. The risk of falls was significantly higher in the experimental group (44,24%) than in the control group (16,35%). 

Conclusion: Patients with Menière's disease presented impaired body balance on a static posturography, characterized by changes in stability and postural oscillation and risk of fall.
