Summary

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of long-term disability and mortality. The costs associated with hospitalization, rehabilitation, and productivity losses after injury impose a significant socioeconomic and healthcare burden. TBI patients often struggle with symptoms such as dizziness and post-concussion syndrome, preventing them from returning to their previous level of functioning. This leads to negative consequences, including unemployment, psychosocial adjustment difficulties, and decreased quality of life, particularly affecting young working-age individuals.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether vestibular rehabilitation exercises for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients could improve symptoms of dizziness, post-concussion syndrome, physical balance, anxiety, and quality of life. The study aimed to provide individualized care plans for mTBI patients, reducing symptom burden, lowering healthcare costs, and enhancing their quality of life.
