Abstract

Balance rehabilitation therapy is an applicable and exercise-based program which is formed to promote vestibular adaptation and substitution. The goals of balance rehabilitation include enhancement of gaze and postural stability, improvement of vertigo, and activities of daily living. The brain copes with the disorienting signals coming from the inner ears to rely more on alternative signals coming from the eyes, ankle, legs and neck to maintain balance. It will be suitable for needy people with certain conditions. Significance of Research: Balance rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical/occupational therapy to address dizziness, imbalance, difficulty maintaining clear vision and functional decline as a result of vestibular disorders. A vestibular disorder can cause permanent deficits, so therapy is often designed to allow compensation. Compensation involves the brain learning to use the other senses in substituting for the decreased vestibular system.
