The Effect of Vestibular and Exertion Training on Gait, Balance and Dizziness in Individuals With Concussion
Investigators will use a stationary bike protocol to investigate whether patients with post
concussion syndrome benefit from adding exertion training to a vestibular rehabilitation
program.
Investigators examine the effect of aerobic exercise testing and training on individuals with
concussion who are currently experiencing symptoms and examine the effect of aerobic exercise
in combination with traditional vestibular rehabilitation.
concussion syndrome benefit from adding exertion training to a vestibular rehabilitation
program.
Investigators examine the effect of aerobic exercise testing and training on individuals with
concussion who are currently experiencing symptoms and examine the effect of aerobic exercise
in combination with traditional vestibular rehabilitation.
This is a randomized controlled single blind pilot study testing the hypothesis that the
combination of aerobic exercise plus vestibular rehabilitation will result in greater
reduction of symptoms of dizziness and imbalance compared to vestibular rehabilitation alone.
