Vestibular disorders pose significant challenges to individuals’ daily functioning and quality of life, necessitating effective management strategies. This comprehensive review explores modern advancements in vestibular physiotherapy, encompassing assessment techniques, intervention modalities, technological innovations, and interdisciplinary collaboration.  \nMaterial/Methods. Accurate assessment and diagnosis are essential for tailoring treatment plans to individual needs. Traditional clinical tests, such as the DixHallpike maneuver and head impulse test (HIT), remain foundational while emerging technologies like video head impulse testing (vHIT) offer objective measures of vestibular function. Treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) often involves canalith repositioning maneuvers (CRM), with recent modifications and augmented reality applications enhancing efficacy and patient comfort.  \nResults. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) plays a pivotal role in promoting central nervous system compensation for vestibular deficits. Incorporating exercises targeting balance, gaze stabilization, habituation, and sensory integration, VRT facilitates symptom reduction and functional improvement. Technological innovations, including virtual reality (VR) systems and smartphone applications, augment traditional VRT approaches, enhancing engagement and accessibility. Moreover, interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare professionals ensures comprehensive management of vestibular disorders. Physiotherapists, otolaryngologists, neurologists, audiologists, and psychologists collaborate to deliver personalized care and empower patients through education and counseling.  \nConclusions. Modern vestibular physiotherapy offers a multifaceted approach to address the complex needs of individuals with vestibular disorders. By leveraging evidence-based practices, integrating technological solutions, and fostering interdisciplinary partnerships, healthcare providers can optimize treatment outcomes and enhance patients’ overall well-being.  \nKeywords: vestibular disorders, rehabilitation, vestibular rehabilitation therapy,  \nINTRODUCTION  \nVestibular disorders represent a complex array of conditions that significantly impact individuals’ quality of life. From benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) to vestibular neuritis and Meniere’s disease, these disorders manifest with symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, and nausea, posing challenges for both patients and healthcare providers. In recent years, the field of vestibular physiotherapy has witnessed remarkable advancements, offering innovative assessment techniques, intervention strategies, and technological solutions to address the diverse needs of patients. This report providesan extensive exploration of modern vestibular physiotherapy, delving into assessment methods, treatment modalities, technological innovations, and interdisciplinary collaboration.  \nREVIEW RESULTS  \nAssessment and Diagnosis:  \nAccurate assessment and diagnosis form the foundation of effective vestibular rehabilitation. Traditional clinical tests, including the Dix-Hallpike maneuver, head impulse test (HIT), and dynamic visual acuity testing, remain essential tools in identifying vestibular dysfunction and guiding treatment decisions [1] . However, recent advancements in diagnostic technology have expanded clinicians’ capabilities, with video head impulse testing (vHIT) and vestibular autorotation t","cbCaigkdbUwnRWIx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigkdbUwnRWIx","pdf",509414,3,1,5,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Review Results\n## Assessment and Diagnosis\n## Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers (CRM)\n## Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)\n# Conclusions","[{\"question\":\"What assessment methods are central to vestibular physiotherapy planning?\",\"answer\":\"Effective management starts with accurate assessment and diagnosis, using traditional clinical tests such as the Dix-Hallpike maneuver and head impulse test, alongside newer objective tools like video head impulse testing.\"},{\"question\":\"How are BPPV symptoms commonly treated in modern physiotherapy practice?\",\"answer\":\"Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is often managed with canalith repositioning maneuvers, including the Epley and Semont maneuvers, with newer modified variants and augmented reality guidance to improve comfort and precision.\"},{\"question\":\"What components does vestibular rehabilitation therapy target?\",\"answer\":\"Vestibular rehabilitation therapy focuses on exercises for balance, gaze stabilization, habituation, and sensory integration, supporting central nervous system compensation and functional improvement.\"}]","ADVANCEMENTS IN VESTIBULAR PHYSIOTHERAPY -
