Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation is an important part of management in patients with vertigo, imbalance, and dizziness. These patients often feel that their problem becomes worse during head and neck movements or during walking. Balance disorders can occur due to many causes related to the inner ear, central nervous system, and systemic causes. A thorough history followed by clinical examination and vestibular evaluation will help the clinician diagnose the underlying cause of dizziness. After deciphering the cause of vertigo, the site of involvement within the balance system is ascertained and degree of weakness is measured.
