It is very relevant, the cerebellum plays a key role in balance and coordination. I have moments of giddiness and visual-spatial disorientation because of vestibular and oculomotor issues related to four strokes in the cerebellum. Rehabilitation may take the form of vision training and balance exercises, Tai Chi and the like. Do you have acquired nystagmus, blurred and double-vision as well? There are apps that can be used for vision training, I have reviewed a good one [here](https://onlinecommunity.stroke.org.uk/t/unseen-university/46834), if you are not an app kind of chap, exercises like pencil push ups, clock rotations, and saccade tracking can help. The biggest issue I have found with rehabilitation is constant changing visual noise, which means that the brain is constantly reviewing its place within space.
