| Absolute error in dynamic Subjective visual vertigo: the amount of difference between the actual verticality alignment and the perceived vertical alignment. This variable is to check the ability to understand the Verticality perception. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the start of the intervention), after the end of the intervention (after 8 intervention sessions) and one month after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: In this test, the examinee tries to align the vertical line with the axis of gravity. The individual's absolute error is recorded in the software and the average of 4 repetitions will be the absolute error. The software will be SVV-VII (Synapsys, Inventis, Italy).;The Limits Of Stability in the posturography test to assess the risk of falling. The maximum distance that a person can deliberately and consciously move his center of gravity and tilt his body in one direction without losing balance, stepping and taking support. The sensitivity and specificity of this test are 100 and 95%, respectively. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the start of the intervention), after the end of the intervention (after 8 intervention sessions) and one month after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: By moving the body in 4 directions, anterior, posterior, internal and external, the maximum distance a person can tilt the body without losing his balance. Using software and hardware made by Synapsys, Italy: in this The person's balance test will be examined. The person will stand on the device screen in the designated place with bare feet. The size of the sole of a person's foot will be measured according to the location in a specific place on the device screen. Then the person will stand without leaning or holding anything. First, the sole pressure will be measured and calculated. Then the LOS of forward, backward and lateral movements will be obtained in square centimeters. For this purpose, a person should | — |
