Why Learn Vestibular Rehabilitation?

Impact of Vestibular Disorders

Material presented at IPTA 2016 REVITALIZE Conference

• One recent large epidemiological study estimated that as many as 35% of adults aged 40 years or older in the United States—approximately 69 million Americans—have experienced some form of vestibular dysfunction.

• The estimated number of 2011 US ED visits for dizziness or vertigo was 3.9 million

What is Dizziness?

“Unsteadiness, Light-headedness, Disequilibrium, Vertigo, Wooziness, Feeling Tipsy, Foggy, Pressure in Head, ears, or eyes, etc.”

Classification of Vestibular Symptoms

8

• Vertigo: A sensation of self-motion when no self motion is

occurring. (spinning or non-spinning)

• Dizziness: Sense of disturbed or impaired spatial

orientation without a false or distorted sense of motion

• Oscillopsia: Gaze instability

• Unsteadiness: Instability, disturbed postural control

• Visual Vertigo: Dizziness evoked with complex or

moving visual stimulae

• Pre-syncope: feeling of faintness or “passing out

Vestibular System: What does it do?

• Linear and angular

accelerometer

• Senses rotational movements of

the head

• Senses linear movments of the

head

• Since gravity is linear

acceleration, it also senses head

position in space

Material presented at IPTA 2016 REVITALIZE Conference

“Which way is up?” “Where am I going?”

What does it do with that information?

• Gaze stability

• Postural stability

• Orientation in space i.e. position

sense

Central Vestibular Processing

• 1. Vestibular Nuclear Complex• 2. Cerebellum

28

1. Lateral vestibular nucleus

2. Superior vestibular nucleus

3. Medial vestibular Nucleus

4. Inferior vestibular nucleus

5. At least seven minor nuclei (Herdman, 2014)

29

The Vestibular Nuclear Complex

1. Monitors vestibular performance and readjusts the central processing.

2. Both Cerebellum and nuclei process information in association with somatosensory, proprioceptive and visual input.

• VOR –Vestibular Ocular Reflex

• VSR – Vestibular Spinal Reflex

• VCR – Vestibular Colic Reflex

31

Vestibular Reflexes

32

• The VOR generates compensatory eye movements that help to stabilize eye position during head movements.

Vestibular Ocular Reflex

Oscillopsia

• Visual illusion of oscillating

movement of stationary objects

• Can arise with peripheral or

central lesions.

• Indicative of diminished VOR

gain

• Sends descending motor control signal to musculoskeletal system for postural control

34

VSR — Vestibulo-Spinal Reflex

VCR – Vestibulocollic Reflex

• Acts on the muscles in the neck to stabilize the head. The head responds to movement sensed

by the otolithic or SCC organs

2. What differentiates BPPV from other peripheral causes of vertigo, such as UVL and BVL, etioglogies– Vestibular or labyrinthitis, Menieres, etc.

What is the optimal treatment for BPPV.

VSR

Disturbance of the dynamic VSR causes

1. Ataxic Gait

2. Wide BOS

3. Drift to one side during ambulation

VOR

• Retinal slip is the movement of the visual

image across the retina

• Requires both vision and movement

• Animal in dark without movement do not adapt.

X1 Viewing / VOR x 1

X2 Viewing / VOR x 2

91

Adaptation

Vestibular System is

context and frequency

specific.

Dizziness is not a disease, it is a symptom

• Most dizziness can be diagnosed with history & physical

exam alone

• Do further testing if dx unclear or red flags

• Neurologic sx’s/signs, risk factors for vascular disease

• Dix-Hallpike and Supine Roll Test to diagnose BPPV

• BPPV is the most common disorder seen in the

outpatient practice, but it is vital from practitioner to know

other etiologies. 103
