Sensory Organization Techniques

Sensory Organization Techniques (SOT) are exercises used in vestibular rehabilitation to help individuals with balance issues, often caused by inner ear problems. These techniques assess how well a person can use their senses—like vision, touch, and balance—to stay steady. During SOT, various conditions are created to challenge balance, helping patients learn to rely on their senses more effectively. This training aims to improve stability, reduce dizziness, and enhance overall functioning in daily life. In essence, it helps the brain adapt to changes in balance by refining how sensory information is processed and utilized.
