Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the relative merits of vestibular rehabilitation and Tai Chi for patients with inner ear vestibular disorders
Detailed Description:
It is proposed a randomized blinded controlled trial comparing vestibular rehabilitation VR to Tai Chi TC Our overall goal is to explore whether and if so how TC can improve functional dynamic stability in persons with vestibulopathy VSP It is hypothesized that the TC group will demonstrate significantly greater improvement in performing functional activities than the VR group
Sixty subjects will be randomly assigned into either TC instruction or VR Both treatment groups will receive identical duration treatment once a week for 10 weeks with supplemental home exercises It is hypothesized that 1 TC improves whole-body dynamic locomotor stability more than does VR 2 TC improves gait coordination during planned and unplanned obstacle encounters more than does VR 3 TC improves whole-body speed related movement control more than does VR
