Summary
This pilot study tested a virtual reality system called DizzyVR for rehabilitating people with dizziness from inner ear disorders. Ten adults used the system for eight weekly sessions. The goal was to see if it was easy to use, safe, and enjoyable, and to gather early data on whether it helps with dizziness and balance.
