Investigators will use a stationary bike protocol to investigate whether patients with post concussion syndrome benefit from adding exertion training to a vestibular rehabilitation program.
Investigators examine the effect of aerobic exercise testing and training on individuals with concussion who are currently experiencing symptoms and examine the effect of aerobic exercise in combination with traditional vestibular rehabilitation.
This is a randomized controlled single blind pilot study testing the hypothesis that the combination of aerobic exercise plus vestibular rehabilitation will result in greater reduction of symptoms of dizziness and imbalance compared to vestibular rehabilitation alone.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of Dizziness Score | change in VAS of Dizziness Score from initial evaluation to week 6 | |
| Changes in Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) Score | 25-item scale that addresses the functional, emotional, and physical components of dizziness. Higher scores indicate greater handicap (range, 0 - 100) | change in DHI Score from initial evaluation to week 6 |
| Change in the number of symptoms on checklist of the Sports Concussion Assessment Tool | change in symptoms from initial evaluation to week 6 | |
| Changes in balance Error Scoring System (BESS) score | requires participants to maintain balance with eyes closed with their hands on their iliac crests under six different surface conditions. Number of errors in each trial are added together to obtain a total score (out of 60). | change in (BESS) Score from initial evaluation to week 6 |
| Changes in Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) Score | instrumented, objective assessment of vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) function in response to head movement. The Dynamic Visual Acuity Test assesses visual acuity during head movement relative to baseline static visual acuity | change in DVA Score from initial evaluation to week 6 |
| Changes in Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT-3) Score | 22 item postconcussion symptom scale using a seven point Likert rating. This scale provides an assessment of symptoms endorsed, along with a severity score. The maximum symptom score is 22, the symptom severity score is obtained by summing the rated symptom score for each symptom (maximum score 132). |
