Abstract

To investigate the long-term effects of adding virtual reality-based home exercises to vestibular rehabilitation in people with unilateral vestibular hypofunction. Follow-up otoneurological examination in two randomized groups following a previous one-month trial. Tertiary rehabilitation center. A total of 47 patients with unilateral vestibular hypofunction, one group ( n = 24) undergoing conventional vestibular rehabilitation and the other one ( n = 23) implementing, in addition, head-mounted gaming home exercises, 20 minutes per day for one month. One year after completing rehabilitation, patients underwent testing with static posturography, video head impulse test, self-report questionnaires, and a performance measure. Vestibulo-ocular reflex gain, posturographic parameters such as length, surface, and fast Fourier transform power spectra, self-report, and gait performance measure scores. Vestibulo-ocular reflex gain was significantly better with respect to pretreatment in both groups. The mixed-method group showed significantly higher gain scores: mean (standard deviation (SD)) at 12 months was 0.71 (0.04), versus 0.64 (0.03) for the vestibular rehabilitation-only group ( P < 0.001). Accordingly, some classical posturograph...Continue Reading
