Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Static Balance

The Vestibular Rehabilitation Benefit Questionnaire (VRBQ) is a validated tool used to measure balance 0 means no problem, 100 means severe problem

Time frame
6 weeks
2

Vertigo

DHI scale is used to assess vertigo.The questionnaire consists of 25 items with 3 responses YES= 4 points SOMETIMES = 2 points and NO = 0 points. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, higher score indicating self perceived handicap due to dizziness.

Time frame
6 weeks
3

Static Balance

CTSIB of Biodex is used to assess static balance and has 4 components. a) Firm surface with eyes open; (Mean value 0.44)test the integration of visual,somatosensory and vestibular inputs. All sensory systems are available for balance. b) Firm surface with eyes closed; (mean value 0.80)evaluate the reliance on somatosensory input for balance and visual input is eliminated.c) Foam surface with eyes open; (Mean value; 0.79) Test the ability to use visual and vestibular inputs for balance when somatosensory inputs is unreliable,unstable surface. d) Foam surface with eyes closed; (mean value 2.41) primarily challenges the vestibular system by eliminating visual input and providing unreliable somatosensory feedback. The total mean of these 4 components is 1.11.

Time frame
6 weeks

Dynamic balance

Functional Reach test will be used to assess dynamic balance * Scoring: * Distance in centimeters or inches is recorded. * Normal values : * \<15 cm indicates a high fall risk in older adults

Time frame
6 weeks
