Measurement Properties of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory: A Systematic Review

Conclusions: The current evidence for a number of measurement properties of the DHI is suboptimal. Because of its widespread use and the current lack of a better alternative, researchers can use the DHI when assessing handicapping effects imposed by dizziness, but they should be aware of its limitations. Moreover, we recommend using the DHI total score only and also to consider adding an instrument with more favorable measurement properties when assessing self-perceived handicap in patients with dizziness.
