As you are aware, vestibular disorders are very common and often very debilitating. They affect the lives of people of all ages and backgrounds. Loss or disruption of normal vestibular function results in vertigo, loss of balance and orientation, and falls. With an aging population, the incidence and cost of balance disorders will increase. By age 75, balance disorders are one of the most common reasons for seeking health care.

It is an established fact that physiotherapists play a vital role in rehabilitation of people suffering from various balance disorders by adapting a multifaceted treatment approach incorporating strength training, fall prevention strategies, sensory and motor balance re-training, eye-head coordination exercises, gait/transfer training, and functional dynamic activities to optimize body function and assist them in returning to daily activities and recreation.

This issue covers all you need to know about balance disorders as an important part of the rehab team managing such cases. The issue has been put together by Dr. Vimal Telang, who is working with AIIPMR, Mumbai, a premium rehab institute of the country along with reputed and expert authors from different faculties. We acknowledge Dr. Telang and all the author’s contribution in bringing out this special issue on balance.
