Background:
Vestibular rehabilitation in vestibular disorders.
Aim:
To study the benefits of Vestibular Rehabilitation through the Brazilian Dizziness Handicap Inventory-DHI.

Results:
A change in the diagnosis of vestibular peripheral disorder to normal vestibular patterns was obtained in 75% of the cases.
Conclusion:
Our results indicated a change of the diagnosis and in the quality of life of the tested individuals. The use of the DHI demonstrated to be an excellent tool for qualitative studies.
