To investigate the impact of time interval from symptoms onset to vestibular rehabilitation on the recovery of patients in the acute phase of vestibular neuritis. Thirty-one patients with vestibular neuritis treated in outpatient and inpatient settings from December 2019 to July 2021 were selected and randomly divided into vestibular rehabilitation group and general treatment group. The vestibular rehabilitation group was subdivided into early-intervention group (1-week after symptom onset) and late-intervention group (2-week after symptom onset) according to the interval from the onset to vestibular rehabilitation. The differences in DP, UW, VOR, DHI, BBS and SAS values at 1 month and 3 months after treatment were compared among early-intervention group(11 cases), late-intervention group (10 cases) and general treatment group(10 cases). For patients in the vestibular rehabilitation group and the general treatment group, DP, UW, VOR gain, DHI score and SAS score were significantly different after treatment ( <0.05) and no significant difference was found in BBS score (>0.05 ). Pairwise comparisons between early-intervention and late-intervention group showed that the DP, UW and VOR gain were significantly different (<0.05), while the score of DHI and SAS were not significantly different (>0.05). Vestibular rehabilitation therapy can accelerate vestibular compensation, relieve vertigo symptoms and anxiety symptoms in patients with vestibular neuritis. It is better to be carried out within 1 week after symptom onset.

Vestibular dysfunction has been reported as a potential cause in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, it remained unclear how stochastic galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) affected kinetic performance of patients with AIS. This study aimed to investigate the effect of stochastic GVS on ground reaction forces (GRF) measures during obstacle negotiation among patients with AIS.

Clinical Relevance: The vestibular-ocular reflex stabilises the retinal image and maintains balance during head movement. Astigmatism is one of the common refractive errors that can reduce the quality of visual inputs.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of induced astigmatism on the function of the vestibular-ocular reflex.

Background: Balance impairment is one of the causes of the risk of falls among all age groups and is a continuing threat to morbidity and mortality across the world. Previous studies stated that the vestibular system is affected in middle-aged population, which leads to imbalance and a high risk of falls. There is a lack of research in this account so this study has been done to find the effect of Cawthorne and Cooksey exercise in vestibular rehabilitation on balance control and the risk of falls among middle-age population.

Introduction: A vestibular deficit can have a substantial impact on the overall development of children. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that vestibular-impaired problems are treated early and effectively through Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT). Although VRT is sufficiently proven and standardised in adults, there remains a lack of research examining its efficacy in children.

Background And Purpose: Even though Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most reported vestibular disorders, its interaction with frailty and postural control in older adults is hardly or not investigated.
Methods: Thirty-seven older adults (≥65 years) with a diagnosis of BPPV (oaBPPV) (mean age 73.13 (4.
