Vestibular Rehabilitation: Critical Decision Analysis – Seminars in Hearing Vol. 24 N. 2

Published on: November 11, 2002

ABSTRACT

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) is used by audiologists, physical and occupational therapists, and physicians as an efficacious treatment and management strategy for patients with noncompensated vestibular dysfunction secondary to a vestibular disease or disorder. Although vestibular rehabilitation techniques were first reported over a half-century ago, it has been in the past decade that these techniques have become a widely accepted nonmedical or nonsurgical treatment strategy for patients with chronic and often debilitating symptoms. The use of diagnosis-based strategies or individualized and programmatic therapy protocols and programs has been documented as providing the best treatment outcomes. Critical decision analysis and clinical pathways provide a straightforward method for clinicians in the identification and treatment of this population.
