To Know The Effectiveness Of Experimental Protocol Vs Brandt Daroff Exercises On Dizziness In Benign Paroxysomal Positional Vertigo.

ABSTRACT

Background and Aim: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)1 is considered the most common peripheral vestibular disorder, affecting 64 of every 100,000 Americans. Women are more often affected and symptoms typically appear in the fourth and fifth decades of life. In 1980, Epley proposed that free-floating densities (canaliths) located in the semicircular canals deflect the cupula creating the sensation of vertigo. This is well documented in his Canalithiasis Theory4,5. Although these canaliths are most commonly located in the posterior semicircular canal, the lateral and superior canal may also be involved Patients with BPPV complain of vertigo with change in head position, rolling over, or getting out of bed, and the vertigo is often side specific. Aim of the study is to know persons with vestibular disorders experience symptoms of dizziness and balance dysfunction, resulting in falls, as well as impairments of daily life. Various interventions provided by physical therapists have been shown to decrease dizziness and improve postural control. In the present review, we will focus on the role of physical therapy in the management of BPPV symptoms of dizziness. Methodology: In the procedure Firstly ,patients will divided into two groups Group A and Group B and all the patient were assessed the pretreatment score and post treatment i.e (0 Weeks and 3 week and 6 weeks) by using the DHI ,The Patients will be randomly allocated Group A Patients was receive exercise protocol, Group B Was given the Brandt daroff exercise .this exercises were given on daily basis .After completion of 6 weeks of the treatment ,Both Group A and Group B were compared Statistical software statistical software namely SPSS 15.0. Results and Conclusion: The study concluded that designed exercise protocol is effective to reducing dizziness in BPPV patients by measuring the DHI Scale.
