Summary
A novel staged exercise program improved vestibular function and balance in patients with unilateral and bilateral vestibular dysfunction. Both patients showed significant functional gains and reduced handicap after treatment.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Physical Therapy
- Vestibular Rehabilitation
Background:
- Peripheral vestibular dysfunction can lead to significant disequilibrium and handicap.
- Effective rehabilitation strategies are crucial for improving function in patients with vestibular disorders.
- Individualized treatment approaches may be necessary for unilateral vestibular dysfunction (UVD) and bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH).
