Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy Exam Questions and Answers Fully Solved Graded A+
Which of the following features of VRT would be considered habituation:
-Reset/return VOR
-Reduce exaggeration of motion or after-motion
-Strengthen remaining systems - AnswersReduce exaggeration of motion or after-motion
VOR = Adaptation
Strengthen remaining systems: substitution.
Clinical Practice Guidelines for VRT recommend that patients with acute to subacute UVD (vestibular
hypofunction), training should be performed 3-5x/day, for a cumulative total of __ minutes
-12
-20 - Answers12
20 minutes for chronic UVD.
Bilateral: perform 20-40 min/day
Patients with oscillopsia will be treated via a systematic progression of __ __ exercises (adaptation
protocols) - AnswersGaze stabilization
Patients with exaggerated sense of after motion will primarily be managed with ___ protocols
-Adaptation
-Habituation - AnswersHabituation
, though, you will never perform only 1 or the other during VRT
Your student asks what specifically is the benefit of dual-tasking during VRT aside from its evidence of
improving task carryover? - AnswersProduce central compensation through neuroplasticity
Dual-tasking helps with functional carryover and it's hypothesized that this would lead to greater
improvements in cortical compensation
After a patient suffers a peripheral vestibular (ear) lesion, compensation for this lesion will occur at the
-Cortical level
-Cerebellar level - AnswersCortical
Brainstem lesions result in compensations at the cerebellar level ("cerebellar loop")
Which of the following is not an example of dual tasking?
-Ambulating while counting backwards
-Having the pt recall something from their short term memory
-Ambulating while balancing a tray of food - Answers-Ambulating while balancing a tray of food
*while balancing the tray makes the task more difficult, it does not act as a divisor of cognitive attention
In UVD, Adaptation enhances recovery of VOR, and occurs due to
-Strengthening affected ear
-Plasticity of the CNS - AnswersPlasticity
Must provoke symptoms to produce central compensation.
What symptom is the cardinal sign of unilateral vestibulopathy?
