Vestibular physical therapy (VPT) is a specialized form of evidence-based therapy designed to alleviate primary (vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, gait instability, falls) and secondary (deconditioning, cervical muscle tension, anxiety, poor quality of life, fear of falling/fear avoidance behavior) symptoms related to vestibular disorders. This article provides an overview of VPT, highlighting various exercise modalities used to treat a variety of vestibular disorders. Patient safety and fall prevention are paramount; therefore, fall risk assessment and treatment are also addressed.
前庭物理疗法（Vestibular physical therapy，VPT）是一种专门的循证疗法，旨在缓解与前庭障碍相关的原发性（眩晕、头晕、失衡、步态不稳、跌倒）和继发性（失能、颈肌紧张、焦虑、生活质量差、恐摔/恐摔回避行为）症状。本文概述了 VPT，并重点介绍了用于治疗各种前庭障碍的各种运动方式。患者安全和防跌倒至关重要；因此，还涉及跌倒风险评估和治疗。
