We were very lucky to have Liz from Advanced Neuro Rehab come to our physio clinic in Adelaide and discuss some key assessment tips to keep in mind if someone presents with complaints of dizziness.
The main focus of discussion was around a condition called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) which is a condition that often results in brief feelings of vertigo and possibly imbalance, nausea or vomiting. BPPV can occur following a trauma to the head, if you’ve been unwell and is more common as people age and can sometimes happen spontaneously. This condition is often assessed and then treated with specific manoeuvres, followed by some vestibular rehabilitation.
The team found the presentation informative and useful, and would like to thank Liz and ANR for giving up some of her time to help us.
