Effectiveness of virtual reality-based vestibular rehabilitation in patients with peripheral vestibular hypofunction. [PDF]
Background/aim: The rehabilitation of classical peripheral vestibular disorders is long and costly. Recently, interactive systems based on virtual reality (VR) technology have reduced the cost of vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) and made the process more enjoyable.

Prevalence of vestibular disorder in older people who experience dizziness
Dizziness and imbalance are clinically poorly defined terms, which affect ~30% of people over 65 years of age. In these people it is often difficult to define the primary cause of dizziness, as it can stem from cardiovascular, vestibular, psychological ...

Using Inertial Sensors to Quantify Postural Sway and Gait Performance during the Tandem Walking Test
Vestibular dysfunction typically manifests as postural instability and gait irregularities, in part due to inaccuracies in processing spatial afference. In this study, we have instrumented the tandem walking test with multiple inertial sensors to easily ...
