Vestibular neuritis. Vestibular neuronitis, unspecified ear
Conditions
Interventions
Intervention 1: Intervention group (VRT+VITD): receiving an individualized program for 30 minutes, 3 times a day for 6 weeks, based on their complaints. Exercises include
gaze stabilization (VOR adaptation and substitution exercises), vestibule-spinal reflex stabilization, and habituation exercises. In addition, the patient will receive 50000 Units of 25-Haydroxy VitD
gaze stabilization (VOR adaptation and substitution exercises), vestibule-spinal reflex stabilization, and habituation exercises.
