ABSTRACT

Customized vestibular rehabilitation (VR) incorporating appropriate movements and sensory exposure is currently the standard of care for patients with peripheral vestibular disorders. The lack of difference in findings between the customized vestibular rehabilitation exercises versus virtual reality based rehabilitation in the two aforementioned studies. People with peripheral or central vestibular disorders may experience visuomotor symptoms, such as oscillopsia or diplopia, which are capable of disrupting recovery and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation specialists should enquire directly about such symptoms. It has recently been reported that binocular vision abnormalities may affect the improvement of visually induced dizziness symptom improvement and these findings may have important implications for the management of subjects with refractory vestibular symptoms. VR, in the form of appropriate movements and sensory exposure, is currently the standard of care for patients with peripheral vestibular disorders regardless of age and symptom duration.
