Combined Effects of Vestibular Rehabilitation With Dual Task Training in Vestibular Disorders
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Patients with vestibular disorders often experience cognitive-motor interference which can adversely affect their motor performance, significantly impair daily functioning, increase instability, reducing quality of life and increasing the risk of falls. Vestibular rehabilitation is a well-established therapeutic approach for managing vestibular disorders in reducing symptoms and improving balance and mobility. Similarly, Dual Task Training improves cognitive-motor integration by enhancing both cognitive and motor functions and has shown promising results in other populations. This study is aimed to determine the combined effects of both interventions as it might provide a more comprehensive and effective treatment, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
