Vestibular rehabilitation is a set of exercises that accelerate the process of vestibular compensation and allowing adaptation

to existing vestibular pathology. These techniques utilize CNS neuroplasticity, leading to a recalibration of the sensory system.

In order for rehabilitation to be successful, an individual rehabilitation plan has to be devised with respect to the test results of

examinations, symptoms and patient´s present complaints.

Keywords: rehabilitation, vestibular system, dizziness, compensation
