Figure 5. (A) After 2 years when the patient was admitted to the Audiology Department, the sensory organization test (SOT) composite equilibrium score was determined as 63. (B) Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) was recommended because of the patient’s imbalance/ongoing complaints and computerized dynamic posturography test findings. After 6-week VR, the patient’s SOT composite equilibrium score increased to 72, which is within the normal level. The patient did not experience a fall under any condition. As a result of the VR program, the patient was able to utilize combined ankle and hip strategy to provide postural control.
