ABSTRACT Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder, accounting for 20% of all vertigo cases. Idiopathic BPPV is most common between the ages of 50 and 70, although the condition is found in all age groups. This study was conducted in our institute on 90 patients who presented to the outpatient department with history of vertigo and were diagno...

Abstract Background Vestibular dysfunction accounts for 25% of dizziness complaints. In 30-50% these cases, is attributed to Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Thirty percent people will experience vestibular in their lifetime, with likelihood increasing age. Individuals are eight times more likely a fall. assessment and rehabilitation services can be difficult access. Methods A Plan,...

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of otolith abnormal migration following canalith repositioning procedures(CRPs) for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) patients. The diagnosis, treatment and prevention approaches are also discussed. Methods Totally 356 cases of unilateral BPPV patients were treated by CRPs between January, 2010 and December, 2015. Otolith abnormal ...

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine effectiveness Epley’s maneuver in curing posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods: This a single-center, hospital-based, prospective observational involving total 51 patients diagnosed with BPPV. diagnosis BPPV confirmed by Dix–Hallpike’s (DHM). were treated using maneuver. followed on 4th, 10th, 30th, and 180...

OBJECTIVE To determine if a daily routine of Brandt-Daroff exercises increases the time to recurrence and reduces the rate of recurrence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). DESIGN Random sample of convenience and retrospective case review. SETTING Tertiary referral center and outpatient clinic. PATIENTS One hundred sixteen patients diagnosed with BPPV involving the posterior s...

Objective To develop a three-dimensional study tool of the membranous labyrinth in order to study the pathophysiology, diagnostic workup and treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). BPPV is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo. Its diagnosis and treatment depend on an understanding of the anatomy of the vestibular labyrinth and its position relative to the head. To date,...

BACKGROUND Aerospace environments commonly expose pilots to vibration and sustained acceleration, alone and in combination. CASE REPORTS Of 16 experimental research participants, 3 reported symptoms of vertigo and signs of torsional nystagmus during or shortly following exposure to sustained chest-to-spine (+3.8 Gx) acceleration (G loading) and chest-to-spine (0.5 g(x)) vibration in the 8-16 ...

BACKGROUND Dizziness in the elderly is a serious health concern due to the increased morbidity caused by falling. The most common cause of dizziness in the elderly, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), is frequently undiagnosed, and bedside treatment of these patients can be difficult due to neck and back stiffness, which makes repeated and accurate repositioning maneuvers difficult. ...

UNLABELLED Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) may compromise the balance of elderly subjects. OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of the Epley maneuver in elderly subjects with BPPV and assess clinical and functional aspects of body balance. METHOD This is a prospective clinical study. Patients diagnosed with BPPV (Dix-Hallpike test) were submitted to the Timed Up & Go (TUG) test, the...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the effectiveness of a management approach that combines the canalith repositioning maneuver (CRM) and vestibular rehabilitation (VR) in the treatment of benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV) in elderly persons. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Forty-seven patients (>/=70 years old) with the diagnosis of unilateral posterior semicircular canal BPPV formed the study popula...
