In Chiari malformation, some symptoms are known to recur after decompression surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first case for symptomatic outcome after suboccipital release and stabilization exercises the patient with type 1 Chiari malformation who has experienced surgery. The present study aims to investigate the efficacy of suboccipital release and stabilization exercise training in a patient with Type 1 Chiari Malformation undergoing surgical treatment. A 47- year-old female patient with Chiari malformation received suboccipital release and stabilization exercise training for 10 weeks. Her symptomatic parameters were evaluated, such as pain, grip and pinch strength, deep cervical flexor strength, balance and gait. After the treatment, there were improvements in pain perception, the score of performance index of deep cervical muscles, grip force, static balance and gait parameters. Suboccipital oscillation and stabilization exercises are thought to be safe and effective in patients with Chiari malformation undergoing decompression surgery

Purpose The purpose of this article was to provide a perspective on vestibular rehabilitation for children. Conclusion The developing child with vestibular dysfunction may present with a progressive gross motor delay, sensory disorganization for postural control, gaze instability, and poor perception of motion and verticality. It is important that vestibular-related impairments be identified early in infancy or childhood so that evidence-based interventions can be initiated. A focused and custom vestibular rehabilitation program can improve vestibular-related impairments, enabling participation. Depending on the child's age, diagnosis, severity, and quality of impairments, vestibular rehabilitation programs may consist of gaze stabilization exercises, static and dynamic balance exercises, gross motor practice, and/or habituation exercises. Exercises must be modified for children, done daily at home, and incorporated into the daily life situation.
