“…Recently, VR was introduced to vestibular rehabilitation with various devices and protocols in which VR techniques had a similar effect to conventional vestibular therapy [1,6]. Some of the implemented techniques utilize expensive equipment, which limits and delays treatment.…”

BACKGROUND: Recently, two types of movement sensors have been introduced into Virtual Reality (VR) therapy: motion trackers and force-plate platforms. Combining these two methods could produce better rehabilitation outcomes. Such devices, encompassing motion trackers and force platforms, are referred to as "hybrid" VR units. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of a low-cost hybrid VR based vestibular rehabilitation program METHODS: A prospective, non-randomized, controlled group study comparing training using a hybrid VR unit (Group 1 n = 25) vs. static posturography with visual feedback (Group 2 n = 25) in patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction was conducted. The subjects underwent 10 training sessions over 10 days (30 minute sessions). All were examined on a posturography platform at the start and 1 month after rehabilitation and completed the Vertigo Symptom Scale -Short Form (VSS-SF) questionnaire. RESULTS: Both groups demonstrated improvement in posturographic parameters, which were statistically significant, but when comparing results between both groups there were no differences. The patients reported improvement in their subjective perception of symptoms on the VSS-SF scale, which were statistically significant in both groups, but greater in the VR group. CONCLUSIONS: Both methods reduce postural sway, however subjective reduction of symptoms was greater in the VR group.

“…Approximately half of the cohort approached these clinical criteria for improvement, and those individuals who improved the most had lower scores before the training (data not shown). The current results add to the growing body of evidence suggesting that augmented reality or VFB may be an important tool for balance rehabilitation [10,55,56], by expanding those results specifically to balance training during walking.…”

“…The use of VR in the area of VeR was first reported in the 1990s by Viirre and Kramer [56,57]. Their study included the use of head-mounted displays (HMDs) and large screens [58][59][60][61]. To be more consistent in using VR may lead to increasing VOR gain and decreasing dizziness by inducing adaptation [62].…”

Human postural control is regulated by the vestibular, somatosensory, and visual systems. These types of sensory information are integrated in the central nervous system to ascertain the body’s position in space. Proper functioning of the vestibular, somatosensory, and visual senses is necessary for the body to maintain equilibrium. Bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) is a condition in which bilateral peripheral vestibular function is reduced. Its treatment includes vestibular rehabilitation (VeR), balance training, counseling, treating the underlying cause, and avoiding further damage to the vestibular system. As VeR is often tedious for patients, patient motivation is required or patients may drop out of the program. To solve this problem, in recent years, there have been increasing reports of VeR using virtual reality, which increases vestibulo-ocular reflex gain and decreased dizziness by inducing adaptation. In this review, we discuss VeR, particularly for BVP, and VeR using virtual reality.
