environment, occurring while an individual is stationary. It is often associated with a feeling of spinning,&#13;
nausea, emesis and diaphoresis. The aim of the study is to evaluate the long term home based effect of&#13;
vestibular rehabilitation on activity of daily living in peripheral vestibular disorder. Method twenty&#13;
patients with chronic peripheral vestibular disorder were randomly assingned into two groups. Control&#13;
group(only medication) and experimental group (vestibular habituation). The patients were assessed&#13;
using VADL intially at the commencement of the study, at end of three months, six months and end of&#13;
twelve months for both the groups. Vestibular disorder Activity of Daily Living Scale (VADL) is is a 28&#13;
item, 10 point self administered scale of self perceived indepented in ADL. The scale has 3 subscales:&#13;
functional, ambulation, and instrumental Result: The mean age of 43.40 __ampersandsignplusmn; 16.84 were included in the&#13;
study. The total VADL and all the sub scores of VADL, functional, ambulatory and instrumental&#13;
showed a very highly significant change in the intervention group following treatment. Conclusion: The&#13;
activity of daily living improved following home based vestibular rehabilitation as compared to the&#13;
control group with only medication.&#13;
