OKT With Gaze and Postural Stabilization on Vertigo, MS and QOL in VBH

Effects of Optokinetic Training With Gaze and Postural Stabilization on Vertigo, Motion Sickness and Quality of Life in Vestibular Hypofunction

The objective of this study will evaluate the effects of optokinetic training combined with postural stabilization and gaze stability exercises on motion sickness, balance, gaze stability, and quality of life in individuals with vestibular hypofunction.

A randomized clinical trial will be conducted with 32 participants assigned to two groups: Group A (breathing and aerobic exercises) and Group B (optokinetic training combined with postural stabilization and gaze stability exercises). Data will be collected using the Motion Sickness Susceptibility Questionnaire (MSSQ), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Dynamic Visual Acuity Test for Gaze Stability, and Head Impulse Test. Statistical analysis will be performed by SPSS.
