BPPV Treatment in Biaxial Rotational Chair

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) represents the most common cause of labyrinthine vertigo with a lifetime prevalence of 2.4 percent. Onset is most common between the fifth and seventh decades of life. The disease can be a major handicap for the affected patient, and causes a great expense for society. The traditional manual treatment with repositioning maneuvers has greatly improved the possibilities for treatment of BPPV the last decade. However some patients are still difficult to diagnose and treat, and there are some who for health reasons cannot undergo traditional manual treatment. In this perspective there is a demand for a reliable, effective and precise method to treat all semicircular canals for the differentiated patient groups, and the techniques are under continuous development.
