The value of mechanical repositioning chair in managing BPPV in a patient with limited neck mobility: a case report

Acta Oto-Laryngologica Case Reports
Benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular disorder that is usually straightforward to diagnose and treat. However, management can be challenging in patients with significant physical limitations. We present a case of BPPV in a 70-

A Chair-based Abbreviated Repositioning Maneuver (ChARM) for fast treatment of posterior BPPV

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2019
To assess the effectiveness of a variation of the Epley maneuver, which we have titled "Chair-based Abbreviated Repositioning maneuver (ChARM)", in solving cases of benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV) of the posterior canal. ChARM addresses multiple issues of highly overloaded medical centers that delay its due and timely resolution.

The feasibility of repositioning ability as a tool for ergonomic evaluation: effects of chair back inclination and fatigue on head repositioning

Ergonomics, 2006
Poor posture has been suggested as one of the main factors contributing to the high prevalence of neck pain in video display unit (VDU) users, but no clear association between pain and any particular resting neck posture has been found. Postural awareness of the neck, as indicated by the repositioning accuracy, may therefore be an appropriate measure ...

Analysis of sliding and pressure distribution during a repositioning of persons in a simulator chair

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2001
This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of system tilt and back recline angles on sliding and pressure distribution of seated subjects. Ten able-bodied subjects adopted successively 12 postures on a multiadjustable simulator chair. The system tilt angle was varied from 0 degrees to 45 degrees posterior tilt, while the seat to back angle ...

Comparison between Classical- and Rotational-Mechanical-Chair-Assisted Maneuvers in a Population of Patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo [PDF]

J Clin Med
Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) stands as the most common cause of peripheral vertigo. Its treatment with repositioning maneuvers on an examination table is highly effective.

Co-Existing Vestibular Hypofunction Impairs Postural Control, but Not Frailty and Well-Being, in Older Adults with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. [PDF]

J Clin Med
Background: Vestibular hypofunction occurs in 29.5% of older adults with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), but its impact on postural control, well-being and frailty was not studied before.
