It can occur in children but the older you are, the more likely it is that your dizziness is due to BPPV. About 50% of all dizziness in older people is due to BPPV.In Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) dizziness is caused by debris that has collected within a part of the inner ear. This debris consists of tiny crystals of calcium carbonate. They come from a part of the ear called the utricle and cause trouble when they migrate into the canal system. The utricle may have been damaged by head injury, infection, or other disorder of the inner ear, or may have degenerated because of advanced age. Participants will be taught the differential diagnosis of other causes of vertigo and how to identify the signs and symptoms of serious pathology.This condition is frequently the cause of falls and therefore useful for physiotherapists working with the elderly. It is increasingly referred to outpatient departments by consultants and GPs. This course will be particularly useful to staff working with the elderly and in outpatient departments. At the end of the course students will be able to :Describe the clinical presentation of BPPV Describe the patho-anatomy of BPPV Effectively carry out the Hall-Pike Dix diagnostic test and both the Epley Canalith repositioning manoeuvre and the Semont Liberatory manoeuvre to treat BPPV.
