Great vid, but they should have played the soundtrack from the movie "Vertigo" instead of the trumpet.

@twelvmnkys Hah, great idea!

Nice Demonstration,but what was the outcome?? Also Is it safe for one to try this at home? Thx

[lmellick]

@scallly64 Very safe to try at home. Patient's symptoms improved.

[lmellick]

Yes, he did.

Trumpet is flat on a few notes during the outro! lolol

[lmellick]

@iamheasyouaremeandwe You are probably right about the trumpet and I should probably stick with my day job. :)

@twelvmnkys or maybe vertigo by U2....

This was not done properly. Far too fast and no support gvn to patient. I agree w post prior to mine. It worked on me 4 days n vertigo came back.

Nice video but I can't stress how important it is to turn your head towards the floor at 45 degree angle after you've turned on your side. Then hold it there for 30 to 120 seconds before sitting up again. The nurse doesn't mention it and in many cases it could be the difference between a relapse and a cure.

Great video, thanks for this. Really helped me remember these maneuvers.

@josecitomadera yes, and somewhat ape-like

[atitghoda]

it would have been good if you had done the manouevres properly, as they are described in the leaflet you show. In the Hallpike-dix, the patient should return to upright position between analysing the two sides.. Also the Epley's manouevre, in the last bit there is two stages, one where the patient looks forward and another where the patient looks down. It has a higher sensitivity this way.

Poor guy, he looks sad.
