[Kinesitherapy treatment for patients with cervical vertigo (preliminary report)].
The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of kinesitherapy in cervical vertigo treatment. Thirty two patients with cervical vertigo, aged 20 to 75, were examined. The patients performed kinesitherapy exercises three times a day for four weeks. The effects of therapy were assessed by everyday task self-control cards and ENG examinations. In the present study, objective improvement was noticed in 18,7% patients. Subjective improvement assessed by the patients everyday task self-control cards reached 62.5%. Kinesitherapy seems to be the good method of treating neck-related vertigo, but it should be confirmed in further study on the large group of patients.
