Conditions
Interventions
vestibular rehabilitation
* Bouncing-jumping activities from standing. * linear swinging activities: using swinging platform (standing walking) scooter activity (kneeling, standing), hanging lower limb activities and climbing swinging robe ladder. * By pushing-pulling activities, displacement of the center of gravity is created. * These are activities which enable active equilibrium on steep surfaces such as stairs. * Walking on ramps. * Walking unfamiliar surfaces such as balance disc, balance boards and balance beam
conventional physical therapy
* Balance exercise. * Gait training (forward, backward and side way). * Gait training with obstacles of different sizes. * Gait training in stepper. * Gait training on wooden ramp. * Gait training on balance board. * Training up and down steps different heights. * Stretching exercise for upper limbs and lower limbs. * Strengthening exercises for lower limbs muscles. * Trunk control exercises like abdominal and back exercises.
