Introduction and objective:

In order to achieve an adequate vestibular rehabilitation, it is fundamental to perform a meticulous evaluation, which must allow a correct communication between the person indicating the rehabilitation and the person responsible for carrying it out.

Method:

A bibliographic review of the symptoms, physical examination and tests performed in a vestibular evaluation.

Discussion y Conclusions:

The evaluation of patients with instability is a difficult task due to the inaccuracy when it comes to describe the symptom. For this reason, we should be methodical at the time of questioning the patient, meticulous when performing the physical examination and lean on instrumental tests after establishing a diagnostic suspicion. The correct realization of this individualized evaluation is the fundamental point to guide a rehabilitation treatment.
