If you had a cerebellar stroke your doctor should be using this to fix your balance and dizziness issues.

The research suggests that years of training can enable dancers to suppress signals from the balance organs in the inner ear.
The findings, published in the journal Cerebral Cortex,
could help to improve treatment for patients with chronic dizziness.
Around one in four people experience this condition at some time in
their lives.
Normally, the feeling of dizziness stems from the
vestibular organs in the inner ear. These fluid-filled chambers sense
rotation of the head through tiny hairs that sense the fluid moving.
After turning around rapidly, the fluid continues to move, which can
make you feel like you’re still spinning.
Ballet dancers can
perform multiple pirouettes with little or no feeling of dizziness. The
findings show that this feat isn’t just down to spotting, a technique
dancers use that involves rapidly moving the head to fix their gaze on
the same spot as much as possible.
Researchers at Imperial College
London recruited 29 female ballet dancers and, as a comparison group,
20 female rowers whose age and fitness levels matched the dancers’.
