Protocol for assessing functional impairments in patients with unilateral and bilateral vestibulopathy: a novel approach to evaluate the impact of vestibular loss in daily life setting
This protocol provides a patient-centered, ecologically valid framework for quantifying vestibular-related functional impairments beyond traditional laboratory settings. The methodology bridges the gap between clinical vestibular testing and lived patient experiences, enabling objective assessment of real-world mobility challenges for personalized rehabilitation and treatment monitoring.
