Summary
People that have difficulty with balance have a higher risk of falling and reduced quality of life. Some individuals can learn to compensate using their vision, their sense of where their limbs are in space, and balance organs that are still intact. Rehabilitation exercises, which typically involve shaking and nodding of the head, are often prescribed for dizzy patients but are not effective for everyone. Our study aims to determine if specific exercises performed on footplate sensors with visual feedback is superior to traditional rehabilitation exercises done at home for improving balance and quality of life.
