Q

do you do cookery cathrone exericses

A

not recommended

21
Q

exercises for UVL

A

adaptation exercises (gaze stability)
balance / gait exercises
walking programme

22
Q

gentamicin

A

can cause dizziness

can cause BVL

23
Q

example of aminoglycosde antibiotics

24
Q

objective gait assessment in vestibular

A

walking with eyes open and closed

walking with head turns

25
a good composite test for vestibular dysfunction is
dynamic gait index
26
BVL treatment
``` gaze stability (adoption) exercies balance and gait retraining ```
27
red flags on clinical tests
direction changing nystgmus | inconsistency in test results
28
objective tests for vestibular and balance
vestibular, visual , proprioceptive balance and gait funcional tests
29
most common vestibular signs
vertigo dizziness oscillopsia
30
important questions in vestibular history
``` vertigo diziness oscippolio motion intolerance falls light head nausea 5D 3N onset meds ```
31
whats a central test for vestibular
eye exams
32
mostly which canal has BPPV
posterior
33
whats dix hall pike test
post / ant
34
contraindincdations dix hallpike
VBI | instability (cervical, occipital, fracture, RA), whiplash
35
latent onset from dix hallpike `
1-30 s, occasionally up to 60s
36
transient nystagmus from dix hallpike
1-30s | no>60s
37
negative test dix hallpike
dizziness without nystagmus | dizziness worse getting out of test option than in position
38
UVL is a __ dyfunction
peripheral
39
peripheral tests
dix head thrust dynamic visual acuity balance and gait
40
UVl most common exercis
Adaptaion balance /gait walking functional tasks
41
example of UVL patient
after acoustic neuroma removal
42
menieres disease
cluster of pathologies | do not assume they benefit from VR
43
acute UVL
spontaneous nystagmus, reduced VOT, vertigo, dizziness, osciolpia, imbalance vomtitimg
44
chronic UVL
dizziness, oscilopsia, imanace, motion intolerence | repetion hurts
45
difference UVL and BVL
``` BVL no dizziness or verticgo from drugs (gent) ```
46
treatment UVL BLV
similar
47
cervicogenic dizziness
diagnosis of exclusion
48
treatment of cervicogenic
management vestibular dysfunction | management of proprioceptive
