Abstract
The present article describes the detailed methods and effectiveness of therapeutic exercise for vertigo and disequilibrium caused by peripheral vestibular disorders, and reviews fundamental and clinical researches on vestibular compensation. Therapeutic exercise plays a vital role not only in introducing peripheral stimuli to central nervous system, but also in heightening compensative capacity of vestibule by inducing a combination of adaptation and application. The effectiveness of therapeutic exercise is confirmed by the viewpoints of treatment, training, education, and teaching. There is possibility of involvement of physical therapy to neuro-otological diseases and disorders, and positive participation of physical therapists is therefore highly expected.
