Vestibular Habituation Training (VHT), an exercise treatment for vertigo, has become an accepted therapeutic approach. However, a good insight into the basic mechanisms as well as into the indications is required in order to treat it correctly. Only vertigo of the provoked type and produced by a stable peripheral vestibular dysfunctional state can be influenced. The basic mechanism of VHT is the stimulation of the development of adaptation by a repeatedly eliciting positional vertigo. In this way, exercises are selected individually and have to elicit vertigo. The procedure for selection of exercises is described. The results obtained by this treatment show a net favourable effect. It develops progressively, as might be expected from the assumed action of habituation. Typical vertigo is more easily influenced than atypical forms, and fewer cases with unilateral canal deficiency have a complete result.
前庭习服训练（VHT）是一种治疗眩晕的运动疗法，已成为一种被认可的治疗方法。然而，为了正确治疗，需要深入了解其基本机制和适应症。只有由稳定的外周前庭功能障碍状态引起的诱发性眩晕才能受到影响。VHT的基本机制是通过反复诱发位置性眩晕来刺激适应性的发展。通过这种方式，运动练习是个性化选择的，并且必须诱发眩晕。文中描述了运动练习的选择程序。这种治疗所获得的结果显示出总体上的有利效果。正如从假定的习服作用所预期的那样，它是逐渐发展的。典型眩晕比非典型形式更容易受到影响，并且单侧半规管缺陷的病例中完全康复的较少。
