Dizziness remains one of the most common complaints among the elderly population. Alongside headaches, gait disturbances, balance issues, hearing loss, and tinnitus, older individuals frequently seek help from neurologists, therapists, and cardiologists. Many are unaware of the existence of such a specialty as an otoneurologist or vestibulologist, as well as the availability of computer-based technologies for diagnosing vestibular disorders. The issue of limited mobility among elderly individuals, especially those suffering from dizziness and balance disorders, remains particularly relevant.
Uzbekistan, with a population exceeding 37 million people, has more than 7.7 million elderly citizens (according to the Statistics Agency under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 2024). Despite demographic, geopolitical, and geographic challenges, the country has experienced dynamic economic growth and the implementation of new medical programs in recent years.
