Vestibular Electrical Stimulation and exercises with pinhole glasses
VES and exercises without pinhole glasses
For VES, which we will apply in our study, the anode will be placed on the mastoid protrusion on the sick ear and a cathode electrode is placed on the healthy ear.The skin to be treated will be cleaned and dried The electrodes are fixed to the head with the help of an elastic band. VES application per session will be applied for 30 minutes, 2 days a week, for 8 weeks. Patients will be asked to perform a bed exercise program once a day for 20-30 minutes each session, 5 days a week, for 8 weeks, including the above exercises, which they will perform in bed after the first day.These exercises are; fixation of the head and turning the eyes to the right and left, the movement of fixing the eyes and turning the head to the left and right, turning the head and eyes in one direction and focusing, hip flexor and knee extensor strengthening. Patients in the experimental group will also wear pinhole glasses while applying VES.
