Filter by:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of long-term disability and mortality. The costs associated with hospitalization, rehabilitation, and productivity losses after injury impose a significant socioeconomic and healthcare burden. TBI patients often struggle with symptoms such as dizziness and post-concussion syndrome, preventing them from returning to their previous level of functioning. This leads to negative consequences, including unemployment, psychosocial adjustment difficulties, and decreased quality of life, particularly affecting young working-age individuals. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether vestibular rehabilitation exercises for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients could improve symptoms of dizziness, post-concussion syndrome, physical balance, anxiety, and quality of life. The study aimed to provide individualized care plans for mTBI patients, reducing symptom burden, lowering healthcare costs, and enhancing their quality of life.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the cause of dizziness and decline in walking ability in in older adults ≥65 years during chemotherapy treatment for colorectal cancer. Another goal is to investigate if a comprehensive geriatric assessment and three months' specialized physical group-based exercise three times/week can counteract muscle weakness, vertigo, instability, impaired walking balance, and neuropathy
The purpose of this study is to determine the etiological factors that constitute bilateral vestibular hypofunction and to investigate the effect of vestibular rehabilitation in these patients. The Caloric test and Video Head Impulse test were applied to evaluate the vestibular hypofunction picture of the patients who applied to Clinic with complaints of vertigo, dizziness and imbalance. Among these patients with BVH, those with vestibular symptoms, imbalance complaints and limited daily living activities were included in rehabilitation. In order to investigate the effectiveness of rehabilitation, oculomotor functions were evaluated using Simulation Of Vestibulo-ocular Reflex Exercises (SVORE) System, balance assessment was done with timed balance tests and quality of life assessment was performed with Dizziness Handicap Inventory.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of Vestibular Rehabilitation for improving balance and quality of life of patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (SFM). Recruited subjects will be randomly assigned to an experimental group or control group (placebo). The experimental group will receive a standard Vestibular Rehabilitation program focused on eye stabilization and Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) gain with the aim of improving motor and sensory strategies, while the control group will carry out a conventional rehabilitation program that will not include sensory strategy training. The frequency of treatment for both groups will be twice/week, along with daily performing (2 times/day, 5 days/week) of exercises at home. The total duration will be 8 weeks. The outcome measure are: disease impact (FIQ), perceived vertigo (DHI), and confidence in balance (ABC), at pre-treatment, post-treatment, one month follow-up and three months follow-up.
In the literature, the results of vestibular rehabilitation treatment applied in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have been investigated in detail under the headings such as fatigue, physical activity level, and quality of life, and its effects on walking have also been tried to be examined. However, in the studies conducted, gait assessments were made through questionnaires and timed tests, and devices that provide more objective data such as 3-dimensional gait analysis were not used. Again, the effects of vestibular rehabilitation programs on dual-task were not examined in previous studies. Therefore, the aims of our study are: 1. To determine the effect of individually designed vestibular rehabilitation exercises on the kinetic and kinematic components of walking; 2. To determine the effect of vestibular rehabilitation exercises specially designed for the person on gait parameters during cognitive and motor tasks.
There is paucity of literature in studying the comparative effects of Vestibular Rehabilitation and Virtual Reality. This study will determine the effects of these interventions on dizziness, balance and gait. This study will also deduce the role of vestibular rehabilitation and Virtual reality in subacute stroke patients
Locomotor activity is accompanied by a number of sensory stimuli: visual, auditory, olfactory, vestibular, and somatosensory. When improving motor skills, incorporating postural reflexes, creating synchronized eye movements, and visual attention skills, the vestibular system is particularly important.
The aim of this study was to investigate of the effect of web-based System with oculomotor and optokinetic stimulation on rehabilitation in vestibular hypofunction. In the literature, studies on vestibular rehabilitation in unilateral hypofunction are very limited and there is no study about it.
Objective: To investigate the effect of vestibular rehabilitation exercises supported with virtual reality using virtual glasses technology on dizziness, static and dynamic balance, functional mobility, fear of falling, anxiety and depression in the short term (3 weeks) in the elderly with dizziness.
