=== Vestibular rehabilitation === Many types of balance disorders will require balance training, prescribed by an occupational therapist or physiotherapist. [[Physiotherapist]]s often administer standardized outcome measures as part of their assessment in order to gain useful information and data about a patient's current status. Some standardized [[Balance (ability)|balance]] assessments or outcome measures include but are not limited to the Functional Reach Test, Clinical Test for Sensory Integration in Balance (CTSIB), [[Berg Balance Scale]] and/or [[Timed Up and Go test|Timed Up and Go]]<ref>{{cite book |title=Physical Rehabilitation |vauthors=O'Sullivan S, Schmitz T |date=August 2006 |isbn=978-0-8036-1247-1 |veditors=O'Sullivan S |volume=5 |chapter=8|publisher=F.A.

Intervention programs may include training activities that can be used to improve static and dynamic postural control, body alignment, weight distribution, [[ambulation]], fall prevention and sensory function.<ref>{{cite book | vauthors = O'Sullivan S, Schmitz T| title = Physical Rehabilitation | chapter = 13 | volume = 5 |veditors = O'Sullivan S| date = August 2006 | location = F.
