Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Cawthorne and Cooksey exercises group
Intervention: Participants allocated in both control and experimental groups were receiving treatment for their specific vestibular disorders. Patients assigned to the experimental group also performed the Cawthorne and Cooksey exercises for vestibular rehabilitation during a six week of treatment period.
Other: Experimental: Cawthorne and Cooksey exercises group
Experimental: intervention group. Patients assigned to the experimental group will perform the Cawthorne and Cooksey exercises for vestibular rehabilitation in addition to their habitual treatment.
No Intervention: control group
intervention: The control group will not perform the active exercise that will be applied to intervention group.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC)
Time Frame: Baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention
Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC), to quantify the level of confidence in performing a specific task without losing balance or becoming unsteady. This scale is applied to assess the change due to intervention between the baseline and 6 weeks of treatment. So the data will be collected at baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment.
Baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
UCLA Dizziness Questionnaire (UCLA-DQ)
Time Frame: Baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention
UCLA Dizziness Questionnaire (UCLA-DQ), used to measure the severity and frequency of dizziness and its impact on quality of life. This questionnaire is applied to assess the change due to intervention between the baseline and 6 weeks of treatment. So the data will be collected at baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment.
Baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention
Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI),
Time Frame: Baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention
Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), to assess the level of disability and handicap.This questionnaire is applied to assess the change due to intervention between the baseline and 6 weeks of treatment. So the data will be collected at baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment.
Baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention
