What is vestibular rehabilitation?
vestibular rehabilitation, also known as vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), is a form of rehabilitation of balance for internal ear problems. VRT includes specific maneuvers or exercises that are prescribed to repair problems in the inner ear or to retract the patient's brain to compensate for problems that cannot be repaired. This is a treatment for various disorders resulting from infection or damage to the vestibular system, or simply from aging. The symptoms of the vestibular problem include dizziness, dizziness and feelings of imbalances in motion, albeit vestibular problems such as stress, fatigue, reduced blood flow to the brain and vision problems can also cause these symptoms. Vestibular rehabilitation is not effective for the non -estimated causes of these symptoms. Disorders that can positively respond to vestibular rehabilitation therapy includes benign paroxysmal position vertigo (BPPV), a type of dizziness that is assumed to be caused by separate particles in the inner uChu and labyrintitis, a condition that includes swelling of the inner ear.
Medical evaluation, including techniques such as posturography, Dix-Hallpike test, electronystagmography (ENG) and others, can help determine whether vestibular rehabilitation or other treatment is suitable for the patient. Posturography includes a patient who seeks to maintain balance on a moving platform and at the same time monitoring the moving visual goal. During this procedure, shifts are reported and analyzed in the patient's weight distribution to determine how the patient maintains balance and what parts of the patient's balance can be endangered. In the Dix-Hallpike test, the clinical doctor quickly moves the head and body of the patient series and observers patient's eyes for involuntary eye movement known as nystagmus, which may indicate a vestibular disorder. ENG involves multiple diagnostic tests measuring nystGMUs under various environmental conditions, such as the eyes after moving goals or with changes in temperature inserted into the ear canal.
Once the evaluation has been carried out and a vestibular disorder has been identified, doctors can prescribe a variety of VRT treatment. For example, Epley and Semont maneuvers can also be used to treat BPPVs, as well as known as canolite relocation procedures or as a particle relocation. In these procedures, the patient's head moves through a number of positions to move free below the calcium carbonate crystals that cause false signals to the brain by stimulating the wrong nerve fibers.
Another vestibular rehabilitation therapy may include exercises designed to train other parts of the body, such as mutilation, eyes and muscles of the patient to compensate for vestibular problems. They may include a set of clinically developed exercises known as CAWTHORNE-COOKSEY and avocation activities such as dancing, martial arts and sports that include extensive RUD coordinationou eyes. At the beginning of the exercise, the patient may initially experience noticeable deterioration of his symptoms, but symptoms usually improve because the body is retrained to compensate for disorder.
Some patients may have decompensation months or years after they have completed the course of these exercises. Decompensation occurs when the body loses compensation techniques developed through vestibular rehabilitation. It can be caused by disorders in the daily routine of the patient, such as disease or travel. Patients experiencing decompensation are usually defeated to start their exercise course as soon as their symptoms reappear.
