About this study

Effects of wiifit training will be assessed for balance and vertigo which includes the parameters of balance training.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo patients aged 30-60 years The participants will be assessed through Vestibular Rehabilitation questionnaire (VRBQ), Dizziness handicap inventory (DHI), Functional reach test, Clinical test for sensory integration in balance and vertigo symptom scale.

Informed consent will be taken after which the participants will be recruited into two groups, where one group will receive wiifit training and other group will receive vestibular rehabilitation training.

Base-line and post-treatment measurement will be taken for analysis.

Primary outcomes

  1. Static Balance

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    The Vestibular Rehabilitation Benefit Questionnaire (VRBQ) is a validated tool used to measure balance 0 means no problem, 100 means severe problem

  2. Vertigo

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    DHI scale is used to assess vertigo.The questionnaire consists of 25 items with 3 responses YES= 4 points SOMETIMES = 2 points and NO = 0 points. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, higher score indicating self perceived handicap due to dizziness.

  3. Static Balance

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    CTSIB of Biodex is used to assess static balance and has 4 components. a) Firm surface with eyes open; (Mean value 0.44)test the integration of visual,somatosensory and vestibular inputs. All sensory systems are available for balance. b) Firm surface with eyes closed; (mean value 0.80)evaluate the reliance on somatosensory input for balance and visual input is eliminated.c) Foam surface with eyes open; (Mean value; 0.79) Test the ability to use visual and vestibular inputs for balance when somatosensory inputs is unreliable,unstable surface. d) Foam surface with eyes closed; (mean value 2.41) primarily challenges the vestibular system by eliminating visual input and providing unreliable somatosensory feedback. The total mean of these 4 components is 1.11.

  4. Dynamic balance

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Functional Reach test will be used to assess dynamic balance

    • Scoring:
    • Distance in centimeters or inches is recorded.
    • Normal values :
    • <15 cm indicates a high fall risk in older adults
