BACKGROUND: Vestibular rehabilitation in vestibular disorders. AIM: To study the benefits of Vestibular Rehabilitation through the Brazilian Dizziness Handicap Inventory-DHI. METHOD: Application of the Vestibular Rehabilitation proposed by Zee (1985) and analysis using the Sign; T-Student and Kendall's T tests. RESULTS: A change in the diagnosis of vestibular peripheral disorder to normal vestibular patterns was obtained in 75% of the cases. CONCLUSION: Our results indicated a change of the diagnosis and in the quality of life of the tested individuals. The use of the DHI demonstrated to be an excellent tool for qualitative studies.
