^aMann-Whitney test;

^bChi-square test

UVH: Unilateral vestibular hypofunction; RT: Rotational chair (+: positive results in RT); DGI: Dynamic Gait Index; FGA: Functional Gait Assessment

Caloric test: (+) > 25% weakness on lesion side compared with sound side

^*Dizziness rating: 0 to 10 scale, 10 is the maximum intensity of dizziness; during the first experimental visit
