Vestibular Therapy

[JCappiello]

About a year ago when I was first diagnosed with Chiari and central vertigo my neuro suggested I go to a vestibular therapy place to help with the dizziness and my coordination.  I went about 3 times, but it was too intense for me and I quit. Anyways during my initial assessment  I was put on this "balance machine" so they could tell how bad my coordination actually was before they made a plan of treatment for me.  I stood eyes open/closed on firm then hard surface (4 different test) then I had to use my body as a video game to connect the dots on the screen in front of me .. Needless to say I did pretty bad and the doc their said I have the coordination of a 70 year old..  I was wondering if anyone has done any kind of testing like this?  I would love to do it again to see how much my coordination as worsened over the year, but I do not want to go back to the vestibular therapy place because I know I am in no condition to be doing the actual therapy.  Is there any other outpatient testing similar to what I described?

Maybe they could just do an assessment?  I am not sure, but I know I need a script from the neuro to go there.  I will see and update you.. Thanks

  I had something like that as PT after my one ankle surgery....but nothing with my Chiari DX.....

Mayb u could call the place that does the therapy and ask if they can just do an assessment?
