[Progress in rehabilitation of dizziness and equilibrium disorders].
Physiopathological basics of vestibular rehabilitation are based on mechanisms of vestibular compensation. In the course of vestibular organ lesion compensation can be achieved sooner through increased activity of the patient in habituation process, with active contribution of the vision and proprioceptive organs. The criteria of qualification and preparation of the patients were presented. The role of creation of adequate motivation of the subject in the process of preparation was emphasised. The progresses that had been achieved in this treatment method were mentioned. The value of individual training programs, that is programs adapted to definite needs of the patients, was appreciated in recent years. It was revealed, that training programs directed to train certain system such as lower limbs strength, failure of vestibular receptor, gait disturbances bring significant improvement in such cases. However traditional exercises consisting in the whole body movements do not bring desirable effects in certain cases. The new methods of assessment of rehabilitation progress were presented. Those methods are based on receding of subjective symptoms during normal daily activities.
