  • Title: [Reeducation of patients with vertigo].
    Author: Eber AM.
    Journal: Rev Prat; 1994 Feb 01; 44(3):367-71. PubMed ID: 8178104.
    Abstract:
    The use of physical therapy in the treatment of vertigo is based on the plasticity and the restoration and adaptive qualities of the vestibular apparatus. Indications for physical therapy and the choice of techniques are based on the location of the lesions: exercises aimed at habituation in positional vertigo, with use of the rocking manoeuvre in the case of cupulolithiasis, and stimulation of spinal, labyrinth, visual or extraocular muscle proprioceptors in the case of unilateral lesions of the first neuron or in ototoxic destruction. These techniques give lasting effects and avoid prolonged treatment by anti-vertigo drugs which, by impairing the development of compensation, often lead to persisting functional disorders.
