Vertigo is among the most prevalent disorder in older adults around the world leads to dizziness and balance problems resulting in decreased quality of life. Brandt daroff exercises can accelerate vertigo recovery and prevent recurrence without taking drugs. Cawthorne Cooksey first presented vestibular exercises to improve neurophysiological habituation, improves balance in the elderly. This study aims to determine the effects of brandt daroff exercises with cawthorne cooksey exercises on balance, dizziness and functional parameters in older adults with vertigo.
This is a randomized controlled trial. Participants will be selected by non-probability convenience sampling technique, thirty two vertigo patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated into two equal groups (experimental and control) by online randomizer tool. The experimental group will receive brandt daroff exercises with cawthorne cooksey exercises and the control group will receive brandt daroff exercises alone. Treatment session of 60 min will be given 3 times a week for 6 weeks. The following assessment tool will be used Visual Analogue Scale and Dizziness Handicap Inventory for vertigo symptom severity, Berg Balance scale and Tinetti POMA for assessment of balance, Functional Independence Measure and IADL Tool for assessment of functional parameters. Assessment will be done at baseline and after 6 week. The data will be analyzed using SPPS software version. 25.

Exclusion Criteria:
They receive brandt daroff exercises with cawthorne cooksey exercises.
Other: Brandt Daroff exercises along with Cawthorne Cooksey exercises
They receive brandt daroff exercises only.
Other: Brandt Daroff exercises
Brandt Daroff exercises along with Cawthorne Cooksey exercises. The Cawthorne Cooksey exercises include eye and head movements, coordination of eye and head movements (visual-vestibular interaction), postural control exercises, and progressively more difficult balance tasks (eyes open, eyes closed, large base support, uneven base support, while walking, in high visual or noisy environments). Exercises should be done three times a day, with 5 repetitions of each. The exercises will be performed in three sessions per week with 60 minutes each session for eight weeks. The cawthorne Cooksey exercises includes the following: A: Eye and head movement B: Head and body movement, sitting down: C: Standing up exercises:
brandt daroff exercises without cawthorne Cooksey exercises. To begin the Brandt-daroff exercise, the patient will sit and swivel the head 45 degrees to one side (left), then instantly lie down on the other shoulder (right). The patient should be instructed to maintain this posture for 30 seconds or until the vertigo subsides. The patient then gradually returns to the starting position, maintaining the left ear rotation until sat upright. Following the same 30 second time limits, the patient turns his head in the opposite way (right) and rests down on the opposite shoulder (left). These exercises will be instructed to perform at home for 3 sets (morning, afternoon and evening) with 5 repetitions approximately for 30 minutes in each session for five weeks
Dizziness Handicap Inventory:
Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) Scale is used for assessment of dizziness. DHI is 25-item self-report questionnaire that measures the impact of dizziness on a person's daily life and use as screening as well as outcome measuring tool in vertigo patients. Each item on the DHI is scored on a 0 to 4 scale, with 0 meaning "no problem" and 4 meaning "severe problem." It is a widely used tool in clinical practice to assess the severity of dizziness and its effect on a person's functional, emotional, and physical well-being. DHI has been found to have 75% sensitivity. The DHI Scale has been found to have high test-retest reliability (icc0.92) and moderate construct validity (Pearson's correlation coefficient 0.47). It is a self-report questionnaire so no special equipment is required to perform it.
Time frame: 6 weeks
Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobolity Assessment
Tinneti POMA (performance oriented mobility assessment) is a reliable tool use for assessment of balance and gait in older adults. The test and retest values for the POMA-T, POMA-B, POMA-G all varied between (0.72) and (0.86). The inter-rater reliability values all varied between (0.80) and (0.93). This test has a sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 52%. It is a 17-item test that takes about 15 minutes to complete. It uses a 3-point ordinal scale of 0, 1 and 2. Gait is scored over 12 and balance is scored over 16 totaling 28. Equipment Required: A hard armless chair, A stopwatch, A 15 feet even and uniform walkway.
Time frame: 6 weeks
Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Scale
The Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Scale is used to evaluate independent living skills. The instrument is most useful for identifying how a person is functioning and identifying improvement or deterioration over time. The scale measures eight domains of function including food preparation, housekeeping, laundering. Individuals are scored according to their highest level of functioning in that category. A summary score ranges from 0(low function, dependent) to 8(high function, independent). Inter-rater reliability was established at.85. Administration time is10-15 minutes
Time frame: 6 weeks
