Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) would result in structural injury and/or physiological disruption of brain. Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can result in vestibular dysfunctions, such as dizziness, vertigo and imbalance. Vestibular rehabilitation is effective on vestibular dysfunction after mTBI. This paper reviewed the possible mechanisms of vestibular dysfunction caused by mTBI, the common assessments of vestibular function and the new progress in vestibular rehabilitation.
