Vestibular frailty and presbyvestibulopathy may contribute to the onset of the vicious circle of falling-bone fracture-prolonged bedridden status-senile dementia. Treatment interventions for vestibular frailty and presbyvestibulopathy should be based on vestibular rehabilitation rather than vestibular implantation or regeneration. In acute BPPV, the otolith repositioning maneuver can be used to return otolithic debris to the utricle. At the chronic remission stage, there are nutritional guidelines for improving bone density in otolith organs and rehabilitation guidelines for activating otolith organs to prevent exfoliation. Moreover, sleeping in the head-up position can prevent free-floating debris from entering the semicircular canal.
