  2. Fluctuating central balance pathology (non-vestibular)
  3. Stable bilateral vestibular hypofunction
  4. Fluctuating unilateral vestibular hypofunction
4.  Which best describes Adaptation type of VRT?
  1. Head movement exercises paired with visual targets, aimed to improve VOR function
  2. Head movement exercises with no set visual targets, aimed to reduce patient symptoms

8.  Which of the following activities would be appropriate for home-based VRT that is focusing on Adaptation?
  1. Attending a class on mindfulness-based meditation, to accept and “move on” from feelings of dizziness.
  2. Performing soduku daily, while seated at the breakfast table.
  3. Installing night-lights in the hallways and bathrooms, for better visibility for nighttime bathroom visits.
  4. While seated, reading the infomercial 1-800 number while gently shaking one’s head “no” (left to right), for 20 seconds, five times a day.

10.  Which of these is least likely to be prescribed as part of a home-based VRT program?
  1. Sitting as still as possible, and avoiding movement, for extended periods of time
  2. Having the person perform movements that induce some of the dizziness symptoms, slowly, and for short periods of time, to gradually acclimate the person to moving again
  3. Installing night-lights in the hallways and bathrooms, for better visibility for nighttime bathroom visits.
  4. While seated, reading the infomercial 1-800 number while gently shaking one's head "no" (left to right), for 20 seconds, five times a day.
