Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • The inclusion criteria are: age and over 65 years, both genders and clinical diagnosis of chronic dizziness due to vestibular disorders. This clinical diagnosis is given when there is failure in the compensation of dizziness for 2 months or more after the triggering event.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Will be excluded elderly patients with dizziness of no vestibular origin, cognitive deficit (reference values for the education of the Mini\-Mental State Examination), locomotion with a walker and wheelchair, practicing regular physical activity, which performed rehabilitation of balance disorders in the past six months and use of drugs with action on the vestibular system. Elderly with Positional Benign Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV) are also excluded, since the intervention protocol does not address the repositioning maneuvers.
