What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC)

    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.

    Measured: Baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. UCLA Dizziness Questionnaire (UCLA-DQ)

    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.

    Measured: Baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention

  2. Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI),

    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.

    Measured: Baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention
