In the 1940s, Cawthorne and Cooksey noted that patients with unilateral vestibular dysfunctions who exercised coped better with their symptoms and made a faster recovery than patients who did not exercise. These original exercise protocols were developed to treat patients with labyrinth injury resulting from head injury or surgery. Vestibular rehabilitation can be defined as a set of exercises designed to facilitate central nervous system plasticity through adaptation or by generating substitute mechanisms among patients with balance disorders, thus improving their overall stability and helping them resume their daily activities. Vestibular rehabilitation has been practiced for almost 70 years and evidence related to its efficacy and effectiveness has increased over the last 15 to 20 years. According to the Cochrane systematic review by McDonnell and Hillier, there is moderate to strong evidence that vestibular rehabilitation (movement, exercise based) is a safe and effective approach for unilateral peripheral vestibular disorders.
