Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises (VRE) and General Fitness Training (GFT) in adults diagnosed with vestibular disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does VRE lead to better improvements in gaze stabilization, balance, and gait than GFT? Does GFT lead to more improvements in overall fitness than VRE? Participants will be randomly assigned to either the VRE or GFT group and will participate in 60-minute exercise sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks. Researchers will compare the improvements in the two groups to see which intervention is more effective.
