This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two rehabilitation techniques-Virtual Reality-assisted Vestibular Rehabilitation and Conventional Vestibular Rehabilitation-in improving dizziness, balance, and gait in patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). BPPV is a common vestibular disorder that leads to episodes of dizziness, impaired balance, and gait instability, significantly affecting daily activities and quality of life. Although conventional vestibular rehabilitation is widely used, newer approaches such as Virtual Reality (VR) may provide enhanced outcomes through immersive and interactive training environments. Participants diagnosed with BPPV will be randomized into two groups: Group 1 will receive Virtual Reality-assisted vestibular rehabilitation along with routine physical therapy, and Group 2 will receive conventional vestibular rehabilitation along with routine physical therapy. The interventions will be conducted multiple times per week for a specified duration, and participants will undergo assessments for dizziness, balance, and gait before and after the intervention. Outcome measures will include tools such as the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. The study will compare the effects of both rehabilitation approaches, focusing on symptom reduction and functional improvement. The findings may contribute to improved rehabilitation protocols and enhance the quality of life for patients with BPPV.

Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI)
Timeframe: Primary and secondary outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks to track changes in motor recovery and functional abilities.
Berg Balance Scale (BBS)
Timeframe: Primary and secondary outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks to track changes in motor recovery and functional abilities.
Dynamic Gait Index (DGI)
Timeframe: Primary and secondary outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks to track changes in motor recovery and functional abilities.
