First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a home-based balance therapy program is practical for children aged 4-17 with inner-ear problems that cause dizziness and balance issues. Twenty-one children did balance exercises at home for 8 weeks, with weekly check-ins from a physical therapist. The goal was to see if the program is feasible and if it improves balance and daily function, with results used to plan a larger study.

vestibular balance therapy (home-based exercises)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical home-based therapy option to improve balance and reduce dizziness in children with inner-ear problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study with only 21 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy requires daily commitment, which may be challenging for families.
