1. IntroductionTraumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a substantial global health problem and is considered a chronic disease with a potentially life-long impact on health and well-being [1,2]. The long-term consequences of TBI commonly involve a wide range of symptoms that relate to physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and psychosocial functioning, often resulting in problems with community integration and productivity [2,3,4].

1. IntroductionTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of long-term disability in adults of working age, and the disability is often multi-faceted. The focus of this article is a one-year follow-up of individuals with persistent dizziness and balance problems after mild-to-moderate TBI (mmTBI). Even though most patients successfully recover during the first three months [1], dizziness and balance problems can persist for one year or more after mmTBI [2,3,4,5].

A substantial proportion of people can experience post-concussion symptoms that can persist for several months and sometimes even years (4–7).
