Vestibular Rehabilitation May Aid Balance in Parkinson’s Patients

  • Audiology in the News

A recent systematic review suggests people with Parkinson’s disease may find some benefit in vestibular rehabilitation to improve postural balance. Postural imbalance and falls are a common occurrence in patients with Parkinson’s disease, a progressive disease which affects many areas of the central and peripheral nervous system, including the vestibular system (do Amaral et al, 2024).

Investigators initially found 485 studies; however, only three studies met the criteria for inclusion. While the included studies showed a positive impact on posture regardless of the stage of the disease, researchers found the overall quality of evidence as low. More robust studies are needed to better understand the potential impact vestibular rehabilitation programs may have on this patient population.
