The focus of this article is on the role of vestibular rehabilitation in the remediation of postural and gaze instability in individuals with peripheral vestibular deficits. Although vestibular rehabilitation does not cure the organic disease that produces the balance disorder, it improves mobility, prevents falls, and overall has a positive impact on the quality of life for the patient.
本文的重点是前庭康复在改善外周前庭功能缺陷患者姿势和凝视不稳定方面的作用。虽然前庭康复不能治愈导致平衡障碍的器质性疾病,但它能改善活动能力、预防跌倒,总体上对患者的生活质量有积极影响。
