Ok, a patient has a problem with dizziness or dizziness, what does he do? He goes to the ENT specialist, the ENT specialist does a whole series of tests and exams and is able to understand if the problem originates from the brain or from other parts of the body, therefore from the peripheral system. In particular, it usually originates from the labyrinth or the vestibular nerve. What happens? The body, in case of problems in these two organs, is still able to compensate at the level of the cerebellum, where information about the position of the body in space arrives anyway, it is somehow possible to compensate, even if there is incorrect information or problems in the labyrinth, in the vestibular nerve information arrives from the visual system, from the ankles and from the neck and therefore it is possible to maintain balance without having dizziness. However, there is a period of adaptation, in the sense: when these problems begin at the level of the labyrinth and the cerebellum is immediately disoriented, then little by little it finds a way to compensate. In this period in which the cerebellum is still not able to compensate, the patient has dizziness and dizziness. So vestibular rehabilitation is used to help the body, therefore the organism to compensate for this lack, these problems of the labyrinth and the cerebellum to find alternative strategies and to use the information that comes for example from the visual system (from the eyes), to understand the position of our body in space and therefore for this we need to do exercises because if we stay still, let's say at rest, as still as possible, it slows down the compensation process, slows down this recovery. If instead we move, we do exercises that we will now see, we can speed up this process a lot and therefore then people with peripheral vertigo problems and not those that originate from a brain disorder can improve, they can improve much more quickly. Then we will see why according to some authors an improvement can be seen even in the case of problems at a central level, therefore problems at the level of the brain and the cerebellum, but certainly a much slower improvement and the results are slightly worse than with vestibular-type disorders. Ok, let's move on to practice now. Let's finally move on to the practical part and see the exercises. In the meantime, let's start with the eye exercises, keeping the head still and this is the first step, let's say the first part of the exercises. There are three exercises in a sitting position, let's see them: the first exercise consists of taking any object, a pencil for example would be ideal, if you don't have one we can use the thumbs. Then with this pencil we have to move the pencil first to the right and then to the left, maintaining the gaze fixation, but keeping the head still. We have to do it 20 times, let's start
