Vestibular rehabilitation training (VRT) has become an indispensable part of treatment for dizziness disorders. VRT is an exercise method that can alleviate dizziness and improve gaze stability and postural control, mainly used for the treatment of patients with vestibular dysfunction.
No immediate practice change; this landscape analysis is useful for researchers identifying high-priority VRT research gaps but offers no new clinical evidence to alter current vestibular rehabilitation protocols.
Mapping the evolution of VRT research helps prioritise future funding and study designs in a field where evidence-based guidelines are still maturing.
