Background: A 9-year-old child with a 9-month history of complaints of dizziness, headache, and motion sensitivity came to physical therapy. The child complained of difficulties playing on a playground, running, riding in a car, watching "action movies," sitting under fluorescent lights, and making quick head movements.
Methods: An initial evaluation included a clinical oculomotor examination, vergence testing, static and dynamic visual acuity testing, head impulse testing, subjective visual vertical, balance testing, the pediatric vestibular symptom questionnaire, the Dizziness Handicap Inventory-child caregivers version (DHI-PC) and a visual vertigo analog scale.
