Aims: Patients with acute unilateral peripheral vestibular hypofunction (AUVP) show postural, ocular motor, and perceptive signs on the diseased side. The subjective visual vertical (SVV) test measures the perceived bias in earth-vertical orientation with a laser line in darkness. This study was aimed at (1) examining whether SVV bias could depend on preset line orientation and angles, and (2) investigating whether vestibular rehabilitation (VR) can improve SVV normalization.

- The study investigates subjective visual vertical (SVV) perception in patients with acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUVP) and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), focusing on how they align a bar with gravity in darkness.
- The results indicate that patients with AUVP show greater SVV errors when aligning lines toward the affected side, especially at a 30° angle, suggesting asymmetry in their perception.
- The study emphasizes the need for individualized SVV assessments in clinical practice to improve diagnosis and understanding of otolith organ imbalances that can lead to chronic dizziness.
