Abstract

Dizziness is a common condition that can significantly reduce quality of life and increase the risk of falls. This review examines frequent vestibular causes, including benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular migraine, Ménière's disease, and vestibular neuritis. Vestibular rehabilitation is evidence-based and enhances compensation, balance, gaze, and functional mobility in daily life through tailored exercises, that include adaptation, substitution, and habituation. Given the significant variation in implementation across Denmark, it is essential to prioritise efforts for improved quality, standardisation, and comprehensive training nationwide.
