Effect of Vestibular Rehabilitation on Static Posturography Results

Patients were re-evaluated after 8 weeks of vestibular rehabilitation and the results were compared. The vestibular rehabilitation program was changed every two weeks. During the eight-week period, the patients performed the exercise program 3 times a day with 10 repetitions of each exercise. According to the evaluation results after the treatment, there was a statistically significant improvement in static posturography, especially in the modified-CTSIB test. There was a statistically significant improvement in dynamic visual acuity, head thrust test, bucket test, standing on one leg on firm and foam ground with eyes open/closed, tandem stance test with eyes closed, and Unterberger test. Statistically significant scores were obtained in VAS and DHI results.
