Fig. 1

Mean scores pre- and post-therapy for patients with dizziness only (DO). Illustrated are the means pre- and post-therapy of the primary outcome Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) score, Global Score Index (GSI- the sum of the scores from the answers to all questions divided by the number of questions in the BSI questionnaire), GSI psychometric sub-scores (obtained from the BSI questionnaire), perceived impaired quality of life, and perceived state of health. The column heights in each panel represent the mean values and the vertical bars on the columns, the standard error of the mean. A horizontal bar with a probability (p) value indicates a significant difference between the means. The DHI has a maximum possible score of 100. The changes in the mean Balance Control Index (BCI) from pre- to post-therapy for patients with dizziness only (not displayed) were not significant. The BCI combines of stance and gait balance tests results (see Hegeman et al. [23]) in an optimal form to aid identification of patients with peripheral vestibular deficits [22] when compared to normal controls
