The mental imagery intervention in this study is a structured, guided cognitive training program designed to enhance the effects of vestibular rehabilitation in young adults with unilateral vestibular hypofunction. Mental imagery (MI) involves the internal visualization and mental rehearsal of physical movements without actual motor output, engaging similar neural pathways as actual execution.
