Objective Examination and Rehabilitation Treatment of Patients With BPPV

Dizziness (BPPV) causes severe deterioration in quality of life, incoordination, and instability.

In the study, we selected a minimum of 100 patients with BPPV who were examined after specialist care. After the acute phase, a physical survey is performed where movement and coordination are examined.

After the results, the patients undergo a rehabilitation training. The workout is submaximal and high intensity that is done for 3 weeks.

Hypothesis: As a result of training, it is possible that the remaining feeling of dizziness and insecurity, impaired coordination will decrease or disappear.

Treatment and study plan

Neurorehabilitation

Behavioral

After examination of the patients, the patients undergo neurorehabilitation. We use virtual reality therapy. Patients perform a submaximal load that is monitored by a polar clock. We develop endurance, coordination, sensory integration, visual and acoustic input, vestibular training, proprioception training.

Other names: BPPV group

Primary outcomes

EQ5D-5L

Time frame: 5 weeks

Quality of life testing is taken with a test. The therapist scores the answers to the questions asked on a scale. The end result determines the quality of life.
Beam Walking test

Time frame: 5 weeks

The patient walks on slats of varying width. During the examination, the therapist says the tasks (Eg: counting backwards). The study detects the determination of dynamic equilibrium.
Posturography

Time frame: 5 weeks

Noninvasive intervention where static equilibrium is examined. The program determines the quality and frequency of the displacements.
