VESTIBULAR DISORDER
In this pilot randomized clinical trial, patients with vestibular disorders showed clinically important improvements following 8 weeks of vestibular rehabilitation regardless of the intervention approach: traditional vestibular program or contextual sensory integration program via a vestibular-specific HTC Vive application. HMD training within increasingly complex immersive environments appears to be a promising adjunct modality for vestibular rehabilitation but currently does not appear to be superior to other approaches. Our results need to be interpreted with caution because our study is limited by a small and diverse sample. A future larger study with a long-term follow up is required prior to applying these results clinically.
