Abstract: Bilateral vestibulopathy(BVP)is a chronic disorder of the vestibular system characterized by unsteadiness when walking or standing, which is further exacerbated by dark or uneven surfaces, and oscillopsia. Vestibular rehabilitation is the mainstay of treatment for BVP, but the effectiveness of treatment varies from person to person. Some new treatment modalities, such as sensory substitution therapy, noisy vestibular electrical stimulation, and artificial vestibular implantation provide more selectivity in the treatment of BVP. The aim of this review is to discuss the non-pharmacological treatment of BVP, and to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Key words: Bilateral vestibulopathy, Therapies, Vestibular rehabilitation, Vestibular implant
