Study type | Interventional |
The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercises relieve the symptoms of dizziness and imbalance in people with vestibular deficits and improves the ability to see clearly during head movements. We hypothesize that the performance of specific adaptation and substitution exercises will result in an improvement in visual acuity during head movements while those patients performing placebo exercises will show no improvement.

Inclusion Criteria: - Patient had to have either a unilateral vestibular or bilateral vestibular hypofunction defined as follows: Unilateral vestibular deficits were defined by a > 25% difference in slow phase eye velocity between right and left sides on either the caloric or rotary chair test. Bilateral vestibular deficits were defined included refixation saccades made in response to unpredictable head thrusts to the right and left, a gain < .1 on rotary chair step test and a peak slow phase eye movement of <5 degrees/sec during irrigation of each ear on bithermal water caloric testing - Healthy subjects with normal vestibular function test results - must be able to complete DVA test Exclusion Criteria: - Patients with central lesions will be omitted from the study because vestibular adaptation or other compensatory mechanisms may be compromised and - Patients with visual acuity when the head is stationary of 20/60 or worse. - Patients on medication that suppress or facilitate vestibular function will not be excluded from the study but data will be analyzed to assess the effect of medication. - Patient who do not understand the purpose of the study and what it involves |

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in Visual Acuity During Head Movement From Baseline to Discharge | visual acuity is measured using a computerized system first with the head stationary and then with the head moving in yaw plane. Head velocity is measured using a rate sensor and optotype is displayed only when head velocity is between 120 and 180 degrees per second. The change in visual acuity was calculated from subtracting the discharge measurement from the baseline measurement (pre-intervention). |
pre-intervention and at discharge | No |
Primary | Subjective Complaints: (All Pre- and Post-intervention): | questionnaire | pre-intervention, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and at discharge | No |
Secondary | Disability Scale | questionnaire | pre-intervention, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and at discharge | No |
Secondary | Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale | questionnaire | pre-intervention, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and at discharge | No |
Secondary | Symptoms Intensity for Dizziness, Oscillopsia, Disequilibrium | visual analoque scales | pre-intervention, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and at discharge | No |
Secondary | Balance and Gait | gait speed | pre-intervention, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and at discharge | Yes |
Secondary | Fall Risk (Dynamic Gait Index) | performance test | pre-intervention, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and at discharge | Yes |
Secondary | Eye Movements: Scleral Search Coil | eye movements are measured by having the participant sit within an electromagnetic field while wearing a scleral coil (like a contact lens but only in contact with the sclea, not the cornea); te coil moves with eye movement and distorts the electrimagnetic field | pre- and post-treatment | Yes |
