Background and objectives: Dizziness and imbalance are a common symptoms of a traumatic brain injury which can impede participation in rehabilitation and has been associated with poor outcomes. Early vestibular rehabilitation is one of the adjunct treatments of choice. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of early vestibular rehabilitation with traditional balance exercises to improve vestibular symptoms in subjects with traumatic injury.
Methods: A total of 64 subjects were screened with clinical diagnosis of Traumatic Brain Injury and randomized into two groups. As per the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), only individuals with mild to moderate level injury were involved in the study. The subjects in group-A (N=32) early vestibular rehabilitation while the subjects in group-B (N=32) received traditional balance exercises. Intervention was given to participants daily for 4 weeks. The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) were used to assess the intervention’s effectiveness.
Results: Independent t-test was used to compare the mean significant difference between continuous variables. Paired t-test was used to assess the statistical significance difference between pre and post test scores. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that, both groups significantly improved in both parameters when compared within groups, but when compared between groups, the early vestibular rehabilitation group improved better than traditional balance exercise group.
Conclusion: After 4 weeks of intervention both Group-A and Group-B showed significant improvement in reducing dizziness and improving balance. However Early Vestibular Rehabilitation showed more improvement than Traditional Balance Exercises. Thus, this study concludes that Early Vestibular Rehabilitation is a useful adjunct in TBI.
