Comparison of incremental Vestibulo-ocular Reflex Adaptation Training Versus x 1 Training in Patients With Chronic Peripheral Vestibular Hypofunction: A Two-Year Randomized Controlled Trial (2020)
<p>The study included 21 individuals who had been previously diagnosed with vestibular hypofunction. The 21 subjects started with either 6 months of VOR x 1 training followed by 6 months of washout time where no intervention was provided and followed up with IVA training. The other group did the same protocol except they began with […] <div class="woocommerce"> <div class="woocommerce-info wc-memberships-restriction-message wc-memberships-message wc-memberships-content-restricted-message"> This content is only available to members. </div> </div> </p>
Strategies for Decreasing Visual Vertigo in Patients with Visual Motion Sensitivity, Post-Concussion Syndrome, PPPD, and More!
<p>Visual vertigo occurs when a patient feels off-balance, nauseous, or dizzy when viewing a visually busy environment. This can occur when a patient is driving or riding transportation, viewing a grocery store aisle, or even looking at a striped shirt worn by a co-worker. The causes of visual vertigo can vary, so in this course, […] <div class="woocommerce"> <div class="woocommerce-info wc-memberships-restriction-message wc-memberships-message wc-memberships-content-restricted-message"> This content is only available to members. </div> </div> </p>Validity and Responsiveness of the Visual Vertigo Analogue Scale (2019)
<p>Visual vertigo is a symptom associated with a variety of conditions that causes feelings of dizziness that occur in dynamic visual environments. These environments can include busy streets, shopping malls, or watching action films. Specifically, those who have high reliance on their visual field can be more prone to having visual vertigo. Visual vertigo is […] <div class="woocommerce"> <div class="woocommerce-info wc-memberships-restriction-message wc-memberships-message wc-memberships-content-restricted-message"> This content is only available to members. </div> </div> </p>Does Exercise Increase Vestibular and Ocular Motor Symptom Detection After Sport-Related Concussion? (2021)
<p>The Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) is an outcome measure commonly used for individuals after concussion. The VOMS uses eye movement and body movement to detect symptoms related to dizziness, fogginess, headache, and nausea. Normally the test is performed at rest for a patient after concussion. The researchers in this article suggested that because many individuals […] <div class="woocommerce"> <div class="woocommerce-info wc-memberships-restriction-message wc-memberships-message wc-memberships-content-restricted-message"> This content is only available to members. </div> </div> </p>Once-Daily Incremental Vestibular-Ocular Reflex Adaptation Training in Patients With Chronic Peripheral Vestibular Hypofunction: A 1-Week Randomized Controlled Study (2021)
<p>Researchers recruited 24 individuals who were diagnosed by a neurologist with vestibular hypofunction. The subjects were between 18 and 85 years old, had stable hypofunction for greater than 6 months, and had multiple assessments via the head impulse test. Subjects did not have BPPV, Meniere’s disease, migraines, seizures, motion sickness, or significant cervical range of […] <div class="woocommerce"> <div class="woocommerce-info wc-memberships-restriction-message wc-memberships-message wc-memberships-content-restricted-message"> This content is only available to members. </div> </div> </p>Agreement Between Physical Therapists in Diagnosing Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (2021)
<p>Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular problem. In fact 2.4% of all people will have BPPV at some point in their lives. The condition is associated with dizziness that occurs with position changes. The pathology is specifically associated with the semicircular canals or the cupula of the vestibular organ. The canals involved […] <div class="woocommerce"> <div class="woocommerce-info wc-memberships-restriction-message wc-memberships-message wc-memberships-content-restricted-message"> This content is only available to members. </div> </div> </p>Vestibular Rehabilitation for Peripheral Vestibular Hypofunction: An Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline (2016)
<p>The Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) is a systematic review of 5 databases. 135 articles were identified as relevant and were included in the CPG. Articles included Meta analyses, systematic reviews, Randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case control series. Action statements are provided and were classified as either strong or moderate evidence. Vestibular rehabilitation should be […] <div class="woocommerce"> <div class="woocommerce-info wc-memberships-restriction-message wc-memberships-message wc-memberships-content-restricted-message"> This content is only available to members. </div> </div> </p>Modifications of the Epley (Canalith Repositioning) Maneuver for Posterior Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) (2012)
<p>The study design included two researchers who independently selected studies with a third to resolve any disagreement about study inclusion. Articles were selected from multiple databases and evaluated with standardized forms to determine risk of bias. The systematic review includes 11 trials with 855 participants. Nine of the trials included post-Epley postural restriction and two […] <div class="woocommerce"> <div class="woocommerce-info wc-memberships-restriction-message wc-memberships-message wc-memberships-content-restricted-message"> This content is only available to members. </div> </div> </p>
