Physical and Occupational Therapy
Vestibular Disorders Program
 The vestibular disorders program treats balance disorders associated with
inner-ear fuction.
Although patients may attend up to 16 physical therapy sessions, the most
important component of the therapy is each patient's home program. Treatment
consists of various exercises and techniques to eliminate symptoms of dizziness
and vertigo, and to improve balance, gait and gaze stabilization.
Each evaluation includes an assessment of:
- dizziness symptoms
- visual symptoms
- balance
- sensation
- compensatory mechanisms (adjustments you have made to maintain your
balance)
|
- strength
- range of motion
- posture
- mobility
- gait
