Blended internet-based VR with physiotherapy support
Vertigo
VERTIGO
Blended VR participants were granted access to the same online Vertigo Training intervention as the stand-alone VR participants. In addition, they were visited twice at home by a trained physiotherapist during the 6-week intervention period. These 45-minute physiotherapy sessions took place in the first and third week. The physiotherapist provided information about the background of vestibular symptoms and VR, and talked about doubts and concerns the participant might have. They also taught participants how to use the online intervention, took participants through a set of VR exercises, advised on coping with obstacles to adherence, and encouraged participants to continue the exercises. Blended VR participants also received the standard level of care from their own GP with no restrictions.
