Oculomotor Testing

1. Convergence 2. Smooth pursuit 3. Saccades

Vestibular Testing

1. Spontaneous and Gaze­Evoked Nystagmus (combine with smooth pursuit) 2. Head Impulse Test

a. Head in 30 degrees of cervical flexion b. Small amplitude (5­10 degrees), high velocity thrust c. Can be performed to near or far target (far target when convergence is impaired)

3. Horizontal and Vertical Head­Shaking Nystagmus a. 20 rotations, hold head still afterwards

BPPV Tests

1. Dix­Hallpike Maneuver a. 45 degrees rotation, 30 degrees extension; test asymptomatic side first

2. Roll Test

a. 20 degrees of cervical flexion, performed in supine

BPPV Treatments 1. Canalith Repositioning Treatment (CRT) for posterior/anterior canalithiasis

2. Bar­B­Que Roll (normal speed/quick) for horizontal canal canalithiasis/cupulolithiasis

3. Liberatory/Semont Maneuver for anterior/posterior canal cupulolithiasis

a. Posterior ­ head rotated 45 degrees towards UNAFFECTED ear, moved onto AFFECTED side (treating left posterior canal in image)

b. Anterior ­ head rotated 45 degrees AFFECTED ear, moved onto AFFECTED side 4. Deep Head­Hanging Maneuver for anterior canal canalithiasis

5. Appiani Maneuver for horizontal canal canalithiasis

a. Lie on UNAFFECTED side, quickly 45 degrees down after 2min

6. Casani Maneuver for horizontal canal cupulolithiasis

a. Lie on AFFECTED side, immediately turn 45 degrees down 7. Forced prolonged positioning for horizontal canal

a. Patient lies on AFFECTED side for 20 seconds, then slowly rolls to the UNAFFECTED side, remaining in this position all night

8. Brandt­Daroff Habituation Exercises a. Turn head 45 degree to UNAFFECTED side, rapidly move into sidelying toward

AFFECTED side b. Once vertigo subsides, patient sits up c. After 30 seconds, head turned to opposite side and patient lies on opposite side

for 30 seconds d. Repeat until vertigo diminishes e. Repeat every 3 hours until 2 consecutive days without vertigo
