Can virtual reality replace conventional vestibular rehabilitation tools in multisensory balance exercises for vestibular disorders? A non-inferiority study
Although VR rehabilitation shows innovative potential for multisensory balance training, its effectiveness was not demonstrated to be non-inferior to the conventional approach. Therefore, we recommend considering it as a complementary tool rather than a primary device for vestibular rehabilitation. Further research is needed to enhance the efficacy of VR-based rehabilitation for vestibular disorders while maintaining its tolerance. Trial registration NCT03838562.
