| ABSTRACT |
|
Bilateral vestibular deficit affects far fewer patients than unilateral deficit, and
thus has been understudied. When bilateral vestibular organs are injured, loss of
input of vestibulo-ocular and vestibulo-spinal reflex that normally stabilize the
eyes and body, affected patients suffer blurred vision during head movement,
postural instability, and disequilibrium. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is an
exercise-based treatment program designed to promote vestibular adaptation and
substitution. The rationale for the exercises, which originated from the observation
that patients who were active recovered faster, was based on the supposition that
the head movements that provoke the patient’s dizziness play an important role
in hastening the recovery process. Here the author reviews the clinical manifestation
and treatment of bilateral vestibular deficit that include vestibular
rehabilitation therapy and vestibular device that studied today. |
