Efficacy of multimodal therapy for the treatment of chronic vertigo and dizziness (P1.337)
... Vertigo clients should be encouraged to remain engaged in their life within the limitations of the vertigo symptoms to not become isolated from others.

Vestibular disorders such as vertigo impact approximately 69 million people in the United States (Agrawal, Carey, Della Santina, Schubert, and Minor (2009). The symptoms of vertigo have a significant impact on many workers’ ability to remain in the occupations that they had been employed before the onset of their vertigo and in the performance of many activities of daily living. When developing a life care plan it is important, in many cases, to consider the vocational aspects and the activities of daily living of the person’s life. This article reviews the impact of vertigo on one’s ability to perform activities of daily living and a worker’s ability to perform her/his own occupation or other occupations. Many worker trait factors and temperaments may be impacted by the symptoms of vertigo and may impede a worker’s ability to safely return to work. These worker trait factors also provide good data-points to assess areas of activities of daily living that may also be impacted by vertigo. The effective employment of medical care, case management, and vocational rehabilitation will have the most effective employment and re-employment outcomes for individuals with vertigo.
