Abstract

  Concussion typically results from the blow to the skull that generates abrupt acceleration and deacceleration of the brain within the skull. Dizziness and imbalance may persist even after rest in concussion which may be treated by vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). The intention of this review is to highlight the role of VRT by searching the literature from databases such as Google Scholar, Pubmed & Pedro. Current evidence supports the latent role of VRT in managing the persisting symptoms of concussion. Therefore, future research is needed to explore more experimental trials to strengthen its evidence. 

Keywords: Mild Traumatic Brain Injury; Dizziness; Vestibular Exercise Therapy; Head Injury; Imbalance.
