What are the four types of vestibular rehabilitation?

The type of vestibular rehabilitation one receives depends upon the type of vestibular problem the client has.  There are four types of vestibular rehabilitation:
1.  Repositioning: Provided for BPPV.
2.  Adaptation: Provided for a unilateral vestibular hypofunction.
3.  Substitution: Provided for a unilateral vestibular hypofunction, bilateral vestibular hypofunction and other causes of dizziness/imbalance when appropriate.
4.  Habituation: Provided for stable peripheral and central vestibular disorders when appropriate (proceed with caution).
