The Peripheral Vestibular Hypofunction Clinical Practice Guidelines provide treatment recommendations, based on current best evidence, to help physical therapists optimize rehabilitation outcomes for persons with peripheral vestibular hypofunction.
The guidelines were published in the Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy in April 2016. The revised guidelines will be printed in the April 2022 Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy and is available online.
