Impact of Vestibular and Balance Rehabilitation Therapy Along With Conventional Physiotherapy in a Case of Vestibular Schwannoma With CP Angle Tumor: A Case Report
Vestibular Schwannoma forms in Schwann cells which cover the vestibular nerve, often in the internal auditory canal. Symptoms were likely present before the excision of the tumor. After the excision of the tumor, symptoms may include, hearing defects, tinnitus, facial muscle abnormalities, headache,...

description | Vestibular Schwannoma forms in Schwann cells which cover the vestibular nerve, often in the internal auditory canal. Symptoms were likely present before the excision of the tumor. After the excision of the tumor, symptoms may include, hearing defects, tinnitus, facial muscle abnormalities, headache, and balance impairments. This case report is of a female patient with vestibular schwannoma, who had a few above-mentioned symptoms after the surgery. Her physiotherapy protocol included Vestibular and Balance Rehabilitation Therapy along with Conventional Physiotherapy. Also, facial proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) was a part of her treatment. The outcome measures used to rule out the results were the motion sensitivity quotient (MSQ) and the Berg balance scale (BBS). Improvement of symptoms is likely related to the excision of the tumor and the therapy program. The person's balance and coordination improved as a result of the rehabilitation protocol, and she was able to do her regular tasks with minimal assistance. Her standard of living was also enhanced. |
