Reviews

This is an excellent resource for clinicians who evaluate and treat people with balance and dizziness. The strength of the text lies in its coverage of problems related to the vestibular system, BPPV, and oculomotor system. The videos on the accompanying website and the photographs in the book of the examinations and interventions give this book the advantage over other, similar books. - Daryl Lawson, PT, DSc, Elon University, Doody's Review Service This is an excellent resource for clinicians who evaluate and treat people with balance and dizziness.
