Treatment Varies
Follow Up pre-intervention, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and at discharge

Summary

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.

Eligible Conditions
  • Vertigo
  • Vestibular Neuritis
  • Bilateral Vestibular Neuronitis
  • Acoustic Neuroma

Timeline
