An interventional study of Vestibular retraining with dynamic posturography and At-home rehabilitation exercises in Dizziness, Equilibrium; Disorder, Labyrinth and Inner Ear Injury, sponsored by Eytan A. David. Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-04-10.

People that have difficulty with balance have a higher risk of falling and reduced quality of life. Some individuals can learn to compensate using their vision, their sense of where their limbs are in space, and balance organs that are still intact. Rehabilitation exercises, which typically involve shaking and nodding of the head, are often prescribed for dizzy patients but are not effective for everyone. Our study aims to determine if specific exercises performed on footplate sensors with visual feedback is superior to traditional rehabilitation exercises done at home for improving balance and quality of life.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
