About

THIS STUDY IS A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY IS TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF WIIFIT TRAINING IN COMPARISON TO VESTIBULAR REHAB TRAINING ON BALANCE IN PATIENTS WITH BENIGN PAROXYSMAL POSITIONAL VERTIGO

Full description

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.

38 participants in 2 patient groups

Experimental group A

Experimental group

Description:

The participants will receive intervention through Wii fit training which includes games tight rope tension, ski slalom, penguin slide, table tilt, and heading for 6 total 6 weeks. 3 days per week session will be given for 30 minutes including 5-minutes warmup and cool down and 5 minutes of break in between to avoid fatigue.

Treatment:

Procedure: INTERVENTION GROUP : TRAINING WITH WIIFIT

Experimental group B

Description:

The participants will receive vestibular rehabilitation training. The rehabilitation programme will include weight shifting, neck rotations, sit to stand exercises on padded mat, and head movements with eyes closed. The intervention will be given for 3 minutes, 3 days a week for total 6 weeks of time period.
