This tool quantifies the impact of vestibular dysfunction on daily life using a validated questionnaire. Respondents rate the severity of various dizziness-related symptoms and their impact on functional activities. A numerical score is generated, providing a standardized measure of handicap.
Standardized assessment of dizziness provides valuable data for clinicians. It facilitates diagnosis, guides treatment planning, and allows objective monitoring of treatment efficacy over time. The use of such measures contributes to improved patient care and better outcomes by offering a quantifiable basis for clinical decision-making and communication among healthcare professionals.
