This article presents rehabilitation strategies for treatment of patients with vestibular deficits. Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based approach designed to maximize central nervous system compensation for vestibular pathology. This paper reviews the physiologic rationale for an exercise-based approach and discusses specific assessment and treatment techniques involved in a vestibular rehabilitation program.
