Dizziness is Common Dizziness is a common problem that affects nearly 37 million individuals in the US each year.  Approximately 2 million of these individuals initially seek care at an emergency department.  Many conditions that

Reduction or loss of vestibular function bilaterally results in difficulty maintaining balance, especially when walking in the dark or on uneven surfaces, and in a decrease in the patient’s ability to see clearly during head movements. In addition, patients with bilateral vestibular hypofunction or loss (BVH or BVL) also complain of intense feelings of being off-balance and of strange but disturbing sensations in their heads with head movement. Because of these problems, patients with BVH may restrict their activities and can become socially isolated.

Primary Complaints include:
– Balance and Risk for Falling
– Oscillopsia (visual blurring that occurs during head movements)
– Sense of Disequilibrium, Imbalance, and Dizziness
– Physical Deconditioning

Vestibular rehabilitation can improve postural stability, decrease the sense of disequilibrium, and improve visual acuity during head movements enabling people with BVH to resume a more normal life. Unfortunately, most patients have residual functional problems and subjective complaints. The exercises used for patients with BVL are aimed at fostering the substitution of alternative strategies to compensate for the lost vestibular function and at improving any remaining vestibular function.
