초록

Background: This study was to investigate current educational and clinical background in vestibular rehabilitation therapy of korean physical therapists. Design: Online, cross-sectional survey with 34 questions in 5 sections from 11.09.-11.30 in 2022. Methods: A total of 142 physical therapists answered the questionnaire, and each content was coded and analyzed through descriptive statistics and Chi-Square test using SPSS version 29. The significance level was set to p<0.05. Results: The results showed that most physical therapists had clinical experience with patients complaining of vestibular symptoms and beginner-level education in vestibular rehabilitation therapy. Most patients had been reported to complain of vestibular symptoms while receiving physical therapy under other diagnoses such as the nervous system diseases. In the competency analysis of evaluation methods and treatments, physical therapists' competency with evaluation methods and treatments for imbalances was very high compared with those of dizziness. The competency of these evaluation methods and treatments was found to be significantly related to the presence of patients applying vestibular rehabilitation therapy regularly and hours of education (p<0.05). Conclusion: In order to improve the competency of physical therapists as professional vestibular rehabilitation therapists, evaluation and treatment of patients complaining of dizziness and imbalance among existing patients receiving physical therapy in addition to advanced education should be prioritized.
