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

Vestibular Rehabilitation: Achieving Habituation through Virtual Environments
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

Assessing Cervical Proprioception in Dizziness and Instability: The Joint Position Error Test
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

Visual‑Vestibular Integration Assessment: Understanding Dizziness and Balance Disorders
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.
