Effectiveness of neck-specific exercises with and without internet-based support on dizziness/unsteadiness in chronic whiplash-associated disorders: Secondary analyses of a randomised controlled trial
There were no significant group differences between NSEIT and NSE. Both groups decreased in terms of self-reported dizziness (DHI, dizziness during activity), with medium to large effect size. Those with WAD grade 3 have dizziness/unsteadiness to a greater extent than those with WAD grade 2. Despite improvements, many participants still reported dizziness at 15-month follow-up, and additional balance training and/or vestibular exercise may be investigated for potential additional effect.
