| Abstract: | BACKGROUND: Acrophobia is a one of the anxiety disorder in which the persons have the fear of height. The visual stimulus provokes acrophobia symptoms like dizziness,palpitation, postural instability. OBJECTIVE: The study aims to find the effect of vestibular training on balance among acrophobia. METHODOLOGY: Experimental, pre and post-test, convenient sampling, sample size was 30 subjects. Subjects of 17 to 22 years, who are having moderate acrophobia and who fulfill the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorder V criteria were included in the study. The exclusion criteria were any neurological disorders, antidepressant drug, recent musculoskeletal injury, patient underwent hypotonic therapy and cognitive therapy. Group A (15 subjects) were trained with vestibular exercises and Group B(15 subjects)were not been treated . OUTCOMEMEASURE: Visual Height Intolerance Questionnaire, Vestibular Rehabilitation Benefit Questionnaire and Sharpened Romberg test. RESULTS: pre-test and post-test values of Visual Height Intolerance are 6.1333 and 4.6667, pre-test and post-test values of Vestibular Rehabilitation Benefit Questionnaire is 0.740 and 0.0502 and pre-test and post-test values of Sharpened Romberg Test is 29.4000 and 39.3333. so, there was a significant improvement in balance (p <0.05). CONCLUSION: After the completion of 4 weeks of vestibular training the acrophobic subjects show significant improvement performance and balance was found to be improved. |
