Cervicogenic Dizziness: What It Is, Why It Happens, and How to Treat It
Cervicogenic Dizziness: What It Is, Why It Happens, and How to Treat It -A clear, evidence‑based guide for clinicians and patients. Dizziness is a common complaint among adults, describing sensations such as lightheadedness, disequilibrium, or a feeling of heaviness in the head. According to the Bárány Society, dizziness reflects a disturbed or impaired spatial orientation without a hallucinatory sense of motion. Emerging evidence suggests that cervical spine dysfunction may

Not All Eye Exercises Are the Same: VOR Training vs. Oculomotor Training in Vestibular Dysfunction and Concussion
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

Targeting Balance in Vestibular Rehabilitation - The Limits of Stability and Motor-Cognitive Training
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

Understanding VOR Functional Testing: Dynamic Visual Acuity & the Gaze Stabilization Test
The vestibulo‑ocular reflex (VOR) helps keep vision stable when the head moves by generating eye movements in the opposite direction. This allows images to remain clear on the retina during everyday activities such as walking, bending, or turning the head.
When VOR performance is reduced, patients often experience blurred vision, oscillopsia, or difficulty keeping objects in focus while moving

A Case Study - Assessment and treatment of balance dysfunction using PhysioSensing pressure plate in a patient with chronic stroke sequelae
1. Introduction Stroke is the third leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally , with a predicted rise in prevalence creating an increased demand for rehabilitation services. Balance dysfunction , a common sequela post-stroke, significantly impairs daily activities and heightens fall risk. This case study investigates the impact of a 15-session balance exercise program, incorporating PhysioSensing balance plate with visual biofeedback and interactive games, on improvi

Virtual Reality Therapy for Vestibular Rehabilitation
1. Balance Mechanisms & Vestibular Disorders Balance is the ability to maintain the body’s center of mass over its base of support. Balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems (Figure 1 – left) that include sensory input from vision (sight), proprioception (touch), and the vestibular system (motion, equilibrium, spatial orientation); integration of that sensory input; and motor output to the eye and body muscles [1]. When any of these s
