Dizziness is a common complaint among older adults, and the associated risk for falls and subsequent economic burden is significant. Vestibular hypofunction has an estimated prevalence of 35.4% within the United States (US) adult population, with dizziness and postural imbalance noted as primary complaints. Vestibular rehabilitation is an effective treatment of many disorders peripheral in origin and promising indications as a treatment for those of central origin as well, thus reducing symptoms and imbalance that often lead to falls.
