Abstract

In Republic of Korea, the number of patients complaining of dizziness is continuously increasing. Vestibular rehabilitation is known to be an effective and safe treatment method for dizzy patients, especially in unilateral vestibular hypofunction. Recently, various literatures about applying virtual reality (VR) technology to conventional vestibular rehabilitation have been published. We systemically reviewed these studies about benefit of vestibular rehabilitation using VR technology. The results of this study suggest that vestibular rehabilitation using VR technology can improve patient’s subjective symptoms and improve objective balance indices in various studies. If patient safety issues such as simulator sickness and systematic and scientific research are added, vestibular rehabilitation using VR technology will be an effective treatment option for patients with dizziness.
