Summary

The peripheral vestibular disorder is a heterogeneous disorder that occurs due to unilateral or bilateral involvement of the peripheral vestibular organs in the inner ear, characterized by dizziness, balance disorder, visual blurring with head movements, postural instability, and gait disturbance. In the treatment of vestibular disorders, medical and surgical approaches, as well as vestibular rehabilitation are included. Vestibular rehabilitation should aim at repetitive stimulation of the vestibular sensory organs and improving peripheral sensory inputs by providing strong synaptic plasticity between the hair cells in these organs and the damaged parts of the vestibular system. According to this information, task-oriented training based on the practice of the task in the real environment with plenty of repetition seems to be a suitable method for the requirements of the treatment of vestibular disorders. This study was planned to examine the effects of task-oriented training on balance and gait in patients with peripheral vestibular disorders.

Conditions

  • Peripheral Vestibular Disorders

Interventions

OTHER

Task-oriented training

Task-oriented training is defined as an approach based on movement science and motor learning, where the patient "makes functional movements specific to a certain task and receives feedback". Task-oriented training focuses on improving performance on functional tasks through targeted practice and repetition.

OTHER

Control group

Gaze stabilization exercises included head-fixed right-left eye movements, head-fixed up-down eye movements, eye fixed right-left head movements, and eye fixed up-down head movements.
