The Effectiveness of Vestibular Rehabilitation on Balance Related Impairments among Multiple Sclerosis Patients: A Systematic Review
Author(s): Eoin Synnott* and Katherine Baker
Background: Balance related dysfunction remains a debilitating clinical manifestation among people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) causing significant morbidity and reduced quality of life. Imbalance is found to stem primarily from neurophysiological causes. Current management strategies have shown to have small but clinically insignificant results with little consideration towards vestibular sources of postural instability. Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) provides a promising treatment strategy to mediate balance dysfunction among people with pwMS.
Design: Systematic Review, guided by PRISMA guidelines and presenting a best evidence synthesis.
Data sources: 10 electronic databases were searched from inception until September 2019.
Eligibility criteria for study selection: Article of original research, population of.. View More»
