Abstract
Introduction
The consequence of complete or partial uncompensated vestibular dysfunction in children is usually balance disorders, with the risk of falls and increased fatigue, particularly during tasks requiring postural control. The aim of these recommendations is to establish guidelines for vestibular rehabilitation (VR) in children with vestibular impairment.
Material and methods
The guidelines were developed based on a systematic review of the international literature, validated by a multidisciplinary group of French-speaking otorhinolaryngologists, scientists, and physiotherapists. They are classified as grade A, B, C, or expert opinion according to a decreasing level of scientific evidence.
Results
A PubMed search of studies published between January 1990 and December 2021 was carried out using the keywords “vestibular,” “rehabilitation,” and “children”. After filtering and reviewing the articles, a total of 10 publications were included to establish the recommendations.
Conclusion
It is recommended that a vestibular assessment be carried out before VR, including a study of vestibulo-ocular reflex, otolithic function, and postural control. In cases of vestibular dysfunction, physiotherapy treatment is recommended from an early age to train different aspects of postural control, including anticipatory and reactive postural adjustments. VR adapted to the pediatric population is recommended for children whose vestibular dysfunction leads to functional disorders or symptoms of vertigo for those who have suffered head trauma. It is recommended that children with bilateral vestibular impairment be treated using gaze stabilization exercises for adaptation and substitution. Optokinetic stimulation and virtual reality are not recommended for children and young adolescents.
