Topics in Vestibular Physical Therapy

Topics in Vestibular Physical Therapy (TVPT) is a biannual publication of the ANPT Vestibular Rehabilitation Special Interest Groups.  The purpose is to disseminate clinically relevant information to our members who treat individuals who have vestibular related symptoms.  

The editors of the TVPT will accept literature reviews, brief research reports, clinical perspectives, conference presentation summaries, and clinical case studies. Editors will support and mentor clinicians who wish to contribute clinical experience and knowledge in this forum. The editors invite members to suggest topics and guest editors with expertise in a targeted topic.
