| Popis: | Dizziness and balance disorders are frequent complaints in the general population. Vestibular rehabilitation exercises have been shown to be efficient in controlled studies, provided that a precise, individual diagnosis has previously been made. Depending on the pathology, a subject with a peripheral vestibular pathology can benefit from manoeuvres aiming at dislodging or repositioning otoliths, from non-specific muscles strengthening techniques, from techniques for vestibular-ocular or vestibular-cervical stabilisation of gaze, or from physical exercises aimed at strengthening proprioceptive afferents, inhibiting a sensory predominance, or improving spatial orientation and navigation. These analytical exercises should then be implemented in an ecological context in order to favour transfer to daily-living activities. These physical exercises can enable the development of compensation strategies following vestibular damage (habituation, adaptation and substitution). |
