Abstract
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is caused by thedestruction of myelin in central nervous system which leads to functional disabilities. Balancing problems are the most common dysfunctions and dizziness is known as its first sign in these patients.This study aimed to assessthe effects of vestibular rehabilitation by Cawthorne & Cooksey exercises on balance and the following disabilities caused by dizziness in patients with MS.
Materials and Methods: This study was a semi-experimental research with pre-test and post-test. Subjects of this study were 30 women with Multiple sclerosis regardless of the type of MS and dizziness that were divided into control and experimental groups. Experimental group performed the exercise protocol for a 12 week period and 3 times per day for 5-15 minutes. Berg balance scale (BBS) was used to access the balance and (Dizziness Handicap Inventory) DHI questionnaire was used to accessing the dizziness before and after intervention.
Results: The results showed that, after finishing exercise protocol, in experimental group there was a significant difference in patient with MS, whereas there was no significant difference between pre and post-test in control group.
Conclusion: Cawthorne & Cooksey exercises as a non-invasive method can be an effective therapy to improving the balance and disability caused by dizziness in patients with MS.

Abstract
Introduction: Vestibular defects, vertigo and Dizziness may lead to delay in postural control, lack of coordination, vertigo attacks and ultimately imbalance in children. In this systematic review, the factors affecting children's balance disorders and the effective tests for evaluating these children were investigated.
Methods: Valid articles were searched in Pubmed, Google Scholar, Elsevier databases between 2000 and 2023 using the keywords Balance, Vertigo, Dizziness, Vestibular, Children. In the present study, research articles, narrative reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analysis related to the purpose of the study were evaluated and included in the study.
Results: In the present study, a total of 95 articles were found. By repetition, 13 articles were removed and 82 articles remained in the study. By examining the titles of these articles, 7 articles were removed because the title was not relevant to the purpose of this study and 9 articles were removed because the full text of the article was not relevant,then leaving 66 relevant articles. 8 studies were excluded from the present study due to exclusion criteria. Therefore, a total of 58 articles were included in this systematic review and effective factors in the occurrence of balance disorders and effective assessment in identifying these disorders were found.
Conclusions: Correct diagnosis of balance disorders in children using appropriate tests not only prevents unnecessary examinations and reduces parents' worries, but is also a prerequisite for successful treatment.
