Head movement kinematics are altered during balance stability exercises in individuals with vestibular schwannoma

Abstract

Balance stabilization exercises are often prescribed to facilitate compensation in individuals with vestibular schwannoma (VS). However, both the assessment and prescription of these exercises are reliant on clinical observations and expert opinion rather than on quantitative evidence. The aim of this study was to quantify head motion kinematics in individuals with vestibular loss while they performed commonly prescribed balance stability exercises.
