This might be a good maneuver for lateral canal BPPV however as it somewhat resembles a log-roll in head positions.

On the nose down position, same error (i.e. The head is turned 90 degrees here, rather than 45 degrees. The head positions also looks a bit wrong, similar to Dr.

Like the Danielle Gross video above, this doesn't show a home Epley, but rather shows a practitioner type Epley on an exam table. not a PT or a medical doctor, but an audiologist). So overall, this video is not my favorite either.īoystown. There is then a suggestion of keeping upright for 48 hours (!) That's a long time Dr. At the end of the maneuver, there is no head tuck (as I prefer). The head-down position is probably a bit off as well, as the head is not 45 deg down, but rather looks as if it is in the horizontal plane. Practically it depends on how long one is dizzy. Perhaps this is just an unthoughtful production. The head position is too far rotated - should be 45 degrees, actually looks more like 90. The first third of the video is occupied with talking.

I liked the fact that the blog page used my educational material on BPPV (i.e. The positions look good, and it is a reasonable right BPPV treatment demo. Not really a home treatment video - this seems aimed at educating other PTs. This video is also associated with Vestibular today. The R Epley maneuver (not home), being done by a physical therapist (Danielle Gross) on another physical therapist. The right Epley video has a lot more content, and if you watch the left, you should watch the right as well just to get the mechanism and the precautions section.
