Hamad Medical Corporation’s Qatar Rehabilitation Institute (QRI) has launched agroundbreaking Neuro Vestibular Physiotherapy Clinic, the first facility of its kind in the region. This state-of-the-art clinic is dedicated to providing advanced care for patients suffering from central vestibular disorders, offering hope and healing for those affected by these debilitating conditions.
Central vestibular disorders happen when the part of the brain that processes balance signals from the ear, eyes and body are affected. This can disrupt how the brain integrates and processes these signals, leading to problems with balance, coordination and vision. It can lead to a range of symptoms such as dizziness, imbalance and difficulty walking, severely impacting a person’s ability to perform daily activities.
Recent studies highlight the prevalence of central vestibular disorders among patients with certain neurological conditions. While specific data on multiple sclerosis (MS) is limited, it is recognized that individuals with MS frequently experience vestibular symptoms as part of their condition, further underscoring the need for specialized care.
