Falls are the #1 preventable cause of hospitalisation in Indian seniors over 65. In our Bengaluru practice, over half of “random trip” falls are actually vestibular-driven — benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), unilateral vestibular hypofunction, or Ménière-related imbalance. Pro Physiotherapy runs a dedicated senior vestibular + fall-prevention home-visit service combining Dix-Hallpike testing, Epley canalith repositioning (Cochrane 2014 — >80% single-session cure), Cawthorne-Cooksey habituation exercises, gaze-stabilisation drills, and the Otago home fall-prevention programme (Thomas Age and Ageing 2010 — 35% fall reduction). Home visits ₹799 · GST + ICD-10 receipt.
How Vestibular Rehabilitation Prevents Falls in Bengaluru Seniors
The inner-ear vestibular system provides three-quarters of the balance information your brain uses to keep you upright. When it degrades — through BPPV (loose otoconia in a semicircular canal), unilateral vestibular hypofunction after a viral labyrinthitis, or age-related bilateral vestibulopathy — your brain increasingly leans on vision + proprioception to stay balanced. On a dimly lit stairwell or a rug edge at night, that compensation fails and the senior falls. Our vestibular assessment screens with Dix-Hallpike, head-impulse test, dynamic visual acuity, Romberg + sharpened Romberg on foam, Berg Balance Scale, and Timed-Up-and-Go — a full 45-minute evaluation in the safety of the patient’s own home.
Treatment is protocol-driven and evidence-based. For BPPV — the most common cause and the easiest to fix — a properly-performed Epley canalith-repositioning manoeuvre clears symptoms in a single session over 80% of the time (Cochrane 2014). For unilateral vestibular hypofunction, we deliver Cawthorne-Cooksey habituation exercises + VOR (vestibulo-ocular reflex) gaze-stabilisation drills across 6-8 sessions. And overlaid across every vestibular case is the Otago Home Exercise Programme — five lower-limb strengthening exercises + twelve balance drills + a walking programme, proven in a 2010 systematic review (Thomas Age and Ageing) to reduce community-dwelling falls by ~35%. Every first visit includes a room-by-room home-safety audit (rug removal, grab-bar placement, stairwell lighting, bathroom slip-mats).
