Vestibular Rehabilitation In Unilateral Peripheral Vestibulopathy: A Preliminary Report
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2008, Vol 25, Issue 2
Abstract
Vestibular rehabilitation was indicated for patients with vestibulopathy. We evaluated the effect of home supervised vestibular rehabilitation and visual feedback posturography training fourteen patients in a controlled study. Patients were assessed before and after rehabilitation by the Dynamic gait index, the Dizziness handicap inventory, the Berg balance scale and by static posturography. Supervised home program group significantly improved in Berg balance scale, dizziness handicap inventory and movement velocity (p<0.05). Visual feedback posturography group improved significantly in dizziness handicap inventory, reaction time, movement velocity and maximum excursion (p<0.05). But there were not significant differences between home supervised and visual feedback posturography group after treatment.
