The visual and vestibular systems work in tight coordination to keep the world stable as we move through it. When this integrated system is disrupted, whether through peripheral vestibular hypofunction or after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), patients commonly experience dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty reading, visual fatigue, and challenges with balance. Although some rehabilitation programs for these conditions may appear similar on the surface, the underlying mechani

Balance Assessment in Vestibular Rehabilitation - Limits of Stability Assessing the Limits of Stability (LOS) allows us to evaluate stability under dynamic conditions. This is especially important because many daily activities challenge these limits, such as leaning forward to reach an object. LOS provides valuable information about voluntary motor control required for safe and independent performance of activities of daily living. Remember that most falls occur during dynami

Complaints of dizziness and a feeling of unsteadiness in visually complex environments, such as in grocery stores, during traffic, and among crowds, are frequent in patients suffering from vestibular disorders. One explanation for this is the higher reliance on visual information in these patients for postural orientation. The fear and anxiety associated with these daily life scenarios often lead to avoidance behaviour, which in turn increases the sensitivity to it. It is hig

Neck afferent information is important for coordinated head, neck, and upper-extremity movements , as well as for maintaining body position and spatial orientation. When distorted, it can heavily contribute to altered cervical sensorimotor control, which can heavily affect balance and stability and lead to symptoms of dizziness and unsteadiness  (Peng et al., 2021) . Considering this, evaluation of cervical proprioception may be the missing key to better management of dizzy

Optokinetic stimulation (OKS) is an important tool in this context. OKS consists of exposure to large‑field moving visual stimuli, introducing controlled visual motion that creates a sensory conflict. This conflict forces the brain to reweight sensory information and reveals how effectively visual and vestibular signals are integrated.

The Otoneuro System marks a significant shift in how vestibular care is delivered. It offers clinicians a powerful and intuitive solution that enhances accuracy, structure and confidence at every stage of the rehabilitation journey. From objective assessment to immersive therapeutic intervention, the Otoneuro System represents the future of vestibular rehabilitation.

The Basic Balance System was designed specifically to address these concerns. It offers a practical, affordable, and user-friendly solution for professionals who want to begin offering balance assessments and training.

Many individuals also develop visual dependence, relying too heavily on their vision to maintain balance. This can make visually complex environments - Learn how VR can help your patients
