Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A randomized crossover pilot study will be conducted with 24 participants. During the study, each group will undergo two and a half weeks of conventional vestibular rehabilitation and two and a half weeks of app-supported vestibular rehabilitation. Measurement sessions will be conducted at three-time points: upon enrollment in the study (T0), after two and a half weeks (T1), and at the end of the study (T2).
