Research update: Vestibular rehab for CABV
A research study co-authored by Shaleen Sulway demonstrated that vestibular rehabilitation can improve postural stability and balance, and decrease risk of falling in people with Cerebellar Ataxia with Bilateral Vestibulopathy. CABV is a degenerative condition affecting the vestibular system, causing imbalance, dizziness, nystagmus, and oscillopsia.
Sleep and vestibular disorders
Sleep problems are common in vestibular disorders and concussion/mild traumatic brain injury. Sleep is important for recovery, and poor sleep can worsen vestibular symptoms like dizziness and imbalance. Learn how insomnia impacts your recovery and tips to help improve your sleep.
Falls and the vestibular system
Falls are a leading cause of injury, and people with inner ear problems are at much higher risk. Standard falls prevention programs often overlook the vestibular system, even though vestibular problems are very common in seniors who have fallen. Vestibular rehabilitation physiotherapy provides comprehensive evaluation and effective treatment.
