Vertigo, the main symptom of vestibular dysfunction, is highly prevalent among the middle-aged and elderly generation. Questionnaires or scales could be used clinically to quantify the severity of the patient's condition, and the application of appropriate scales aids in refining the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

It provides more options for clinicians and promotes the standardization and scientific application of vertigo scales in clinical practice.
