The vestibular
exercise evaluation looks at how movement
makes you dizzy. The patient is asked to
make certain head and body movements that
may cause dizziness. The type of dizziness
that is felt during these movements and the
severity of the dizziness are recorded. The
patient is then given a program of exercises
chosen for that person to do at home. The
patient may also be instructed on neck or
relaxation exercises if appropriate. The
program of exercises, when done in a
systematic manner, has the effect of
reducing or eliminating dizziness caused by
movement. The evaluation lasts from half an
hour to an hour. This is usually a one-time
evaluation, without additional appointments.
