Summary

Patients with vestibular disorders often experience cognitive-motor interference which can adversely affect their motor performance, significantly impair daily functioning, increase instability, reducing quality of life and increasing the risk of falls. Vestibular rehabilitation is a well-established therapeutic approach for managing vestibular disorders in reducing symptoms and improving balance and mobility. Similarly, Dual Task Training improves cognitive-motor integration by enhancing both cognitive and motor functions and has shown promising results in other populations. This study is aimed to determine the combined effects of both interventions as it might provide a more comprehensive and effective treatment, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Vestibular Rehabilitation and Dual task Training and Traditional Physical Therapy

Group A will receive treatment session lasting for 1 hour including vestibular rehabilitation therapy for 30 minutes and Dual Task Training for 20 minutes along with routine physical therapy of 10 minutes. Treatment session will be given 5 days per week for 8 weeks. Patients will be instructed to perform 2 sets of 5 repetition each Gaze Stability exercises: Horizontal and Vertical Head movements keep their eyes fixed on a stationary target, Following a slowly moving target keeping head still Balance Exercises:Maintain balance while performing neck rotations and shifting their weight forward, backward, and side to side.Sit to stand on chair Gait Training: Walking at varying speeds, walking forwards and backwards, sideways walking, walk in circles, and walking with horizontal and vertical head movements Dual Task exercises comprising of primary and secondary tasks Conventional Cawthorne Cooksey exercises :Up and down eye and Head movements, pick up things from ground, Walk up and down
