Short-term effects of vestibular rehabilitation in patients with chronic unilateral vestibular dysfunction: a randomized controlled study. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 20092009;90:1325-31.Objective: To evaluate the short-term effects of vestibular rehabilitation on symptom, disability, balance, and postural stability in patients with chronic unilateral vestibular dysfunction.Design: Randomized controlled trial.Setting: Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University Hospital.Participants: Patients (N=42) with chronic vestibular dysfunction were divided into either a rehabilitation group (group 1) or a control group (group 2).Interventions: Patients in group I were treated with a customized exercise program for 4 weeks, while the patients in the control group did not receive any treatment.Main Outcome Measures: Subjects were assessed before and after the rehabilitation program with respect to symptoms (visual analog scale [VAS]), disability (Dizziness Handicap Inventory [DHI]), balance (Berg Balance Scale [BBS]), and postural stability (modified Clinical Test for Sensory Interaction on Balance [mCTSIB]).Results: Significant improvements in all parameters (VAS, DHI, BBS, mCTSIB) were observed in group 1 (P
