Vestibular & Balance Rehabilitation

Vestibular and balance rehabilitation is a personalized therapy program designed to improve balance, reduce dizziness, and enhance sensory integration based on the specific disorder and deficits identified.

### Key Points:
1.⁠ ⁠*Why It's Done*:
- To address balance issues, dizziness, or unsteadiness caused by vestibular disorders.
- Tailored to the individual’s specific sensory deficits, as identified through tests like posturography.

2.⁠ ⁠*How It Works
- *Adaptation Exercises*: Improve brain compensation for vestibular deficits (e.g., gaze stabilization exercises).
- *Habituation Exercises*: Gradually reduce dizziness by exposing the patient to specific triggers identified during testing.
- *Balance Training*:
- Designed based on deficits found in posturography.
- Includes tasks to improve:
- *Visual Input*: Strengthening reliance on vision if underutilized.
- *Vestibular Input*: Reducing dependency on vision or proprioception to encourage vestibular system use.
- *Proprioception*: Enhancing the body’s sense of position when other systems are limited.

3.⁠ ⁠*What to Expect*:
- Individualized exercises tailored to both the diagnosis and specific sensory integration deficits.
- Gradual improvement with consistent practice.

4.⁠ ⁠*Outcome*:
- Improved sensory system balance, reduced dizziness, better stability, and enhanced quality of life.
