A mathematical model for top-shelf vertigo: the role of sedimenting otoconia in BPPV [PDF]

, 2003
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a mechanical disorder of the vestibular system in which calcite particles called otoconia interfere with the mechanical functioning of the fluid-filled semicircular canals normally used to sense rotation ...

Seasonality and Cardio-Cerebrovascular Risk Factors for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo, especially in the elderly. Several studies have revealed a possible seasonality to BPPV. However, whether the seasonality of BPPV also exists in China is unclear.

Vestibular rehabilitation of the persons affected by Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) by physical therapy and repositioning maneuvers

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2023
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) mainly comprises physical therapies that encourage head, eye, and truncal movements, accelerating the recovery of patients with acute peripheral labyrinthine dysfunction. VRT aims to improve vestibular hypofunction

Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in patients with BPPV [PDF]

Medical Science Monitor, 2011
The probable cause of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a degeneration of the oto lithic organs (utricle and saccule). The aim of the study is to find possible alterations in Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) recordings in BPPV patients, because the saccule is part of the VEMP pathway.27 BPPV patients (24 unilateral and 3 ...
