Study Notes
Repositioning Maneuver
- Right posterior maneuver: Sit on the table, turn head to the right 30 degrees, lay on back with head off the table, hold for 30 seconds, turn head to the left, hold for 30 seconds, turn onto left shoulder, hold for 30 seconds, and slowly get up.
- Left posterior maneuver: Same as right posterior but opposite.
- Right anterior maneuver: Lay on stomach with head off the table, turn head to the left 30 degrees, hold for 30 seconds, turn head to the right, hold for 30 seconds, turn onto left shoulder, hold for 30 seconds, and slowly get up.
- Left anterior maneuver: Same as right anterior but opposite.
- Right horizontal maneuver: (no additional details provided)
- Left horizontal maneuver: Same as right horizontal but opposite.
Canal Stimulation
- Right anterior (RA): Patient sits with arm in front, holding thumb at eye level, turns head 45 degrees to the left, moves head downwards while looking at thumb, and repeats.
- Right posterior (RP): Patient sits with arm in front, holding thumb at eye level, turns head 45 degrees to the right, moves head upwards while looking at thumb, and repeats.
- Left anterior (LA): Patient sits with arm in front, holding thumb at eye level, turns head 45 degrees to the right, moves head downwards while looking at thumb, and repeats.
- Left posterior (LP): Patient sits with arm in front, holding thumb at eye level, turns head 45 degrees to the left, moves head upwards while looking at thumb, and repeats.
- LARP: Patient sits with arm in front, holding thumb at eye level, turns head 45 degrees to the right, moves head upwards and downwards while looking at thumb, and repeats.
- RALP: Patient sits with arm in front, holding thumb at eye level, turns head 45 degrees to the left, moves head upwards and downwards while looking at thumb, and repeats.
Viewing Types
- x0 viewing: Patient looks at arm and moves head and arm in the same direction.
- x1 viewing: Patient looks at a stationary target (such as thumb or dot) and moves head back and forth around 30 degrees.
- x2 viewing: Patient looks at arm and moves head and arm in opposite directions.
Diamond Gaze Exercises
- No/no stability pattern: Patient looks at middle dot, turns head left and right equally three times, shifts eyes to each dot, and moves head left and right.
- Yes/yes stability pattern: Same as no/no stability pattern but moving head up and down instead.
Repositioning Maneuvers
-
Right Posterior Maneuver:
- Start by sitting and turning head right 30 degrees.
- Lie back with head off table in extension; hold for ~30 seconds.
- Turn head to the left and hold for ~30 seconds.
- Roll onto left shoulder while keeping head turned left; hold for ~30 seconds.
- Slowly return to sitting position.
-
Left Posterior Maneuver:
- Similar to the right posterior maneuver but start with head turned left 30 degrees.
-
Right Anterior Maneuver:
- Lie stomach down with head off table in flexion.
- Turn head left 30 degrees, holding for ~30 seconds.
- Turn head right and hold for ~30 seconds.
- Roll onto left shoulder, head still turned right; hold for ~30 seconds.
- Slowly rise to sitting.
-
Left Anterior Maneuver:
- Same as right anterior, but starting with head turned right.
-
Right Horizontal Maneuver:
- Specific details not provided; similar principles likely apply.
-
Left Horizontal Maneuver:
- Similar to right horizontal maneuver, but opposite movements.
Canal Stimulation
-
Right Anterior (RA):
- Patient sits holding thumb at eye level; turns head left 45 degrees.
- Moves head down while focusing on thumb; check response (x0, x1, x2).
- Close eyes and return to starting position; repeat.
-
Right Posterior (RP):
- Patient sits, turns head right 45 degrees, and moves head upward while tracking thumb.
-
Left Anterior (LA):
- Patient sits, turns head right 45 degrees, and moves head down while looking at thumb.
-
Left Posterior (LP):
- Patient sits, turns head left 45 degrees, and moves head upward while tracking thumb.
-
LARP and RALP:
- Similar protocols as RA and LA but involve moving head both upward and downward.
Viewing Conditions
-
x0 Viewing:
- Patient looks at their arm while moving head and arm together in the same direction.
-
x1 Viewing:
- Patient looks at a stationary target and moves head back and forth ~30 degrees.
-
x2 Viewing:
- Patient looks at their arm and moves head and arm in opposite directions.
Stabilization Patterns
-
Diamond Gaze No/No:
- Patient looks at a central dot in a diamond configuration; turns head left and right three times.
- Shifts eyes to each dot while keeping head neutral before moving head.
-
Diamond Gaze Yes/Yes:
- Similar to the no/no pattern, but involves moving head up and down instead.
