Q

Explain the difference b/w canalathiasis and cupulothiasis!

A

Canalathiasis is when the otoconia are displaced and free-floating in the SCC, sx last <15 secs
cupulothiasis is when the otoconia are displaced and stuck in the cupula (in the cup of jello yano) sx last 60-90 secs

Q

Nystagmus is always named after the ____ motion/beat.

A

FAST

20
Q

T or F?
The roll test assesses the ant SCC

A

FALSE,
the roll test tests the horizontal SCC
the dix hallpike or sidelying test tests both the post and ant SCC

21
Q

what screening assessments must you do before conducting dix hallpike?

A

Cerv AROM + VBI b4 dix hallpike

22
Q

What-sided vertebral artery is being tested when the pt looks up and to the left?

A

the contra or right side, because you are closing the left vertebral artery.
looking left = tests R artery bloodflow

23
Q

when tx post/ant SCC BPPV…
when would you utilize the sidelying test opposed to the dix hallpike?

A

the side-lying test is for pts who don’t have a lot of cerv ext or cannot tolerate it.

24
Q

T or F?
When doing the sidelying test, the ear up facing the ceiling is the one you are treating?

A

FALSE,
its the ear that is down on the table

25
Q

Explain the steps of the sidelying test..

A
  1. vbi and cerv AROm screen
  2. pt turns head 45deg to opposite side that you wan test
  3. pt is quickly laid down onto the ear being tested
  4. observe for 1 min
  5. (+) if pt has nystagmus, vertigo, or repro of sx
26
Q

When completing a dix hallpike test on a pt’s R vestib sys … you notice an torsional upbeating nystagmus.
What canal is implicated?

A

R post SCC

27
Q

T or F?
a downbeating nystagmus in dix hallpike implicates the Post SCC.

A

FALSE
a downbeating nystagmus implicated the ant SCC

28
Q

explain why and how you would do the roll test?

A

why= horizontal SCC
how= pt in supine, flex pt head 20-30deg and then quickly rotate head to side you suspect implicated. hold for 1 min

29
Q

When testing the horizontal SCC…
Geotropic nystagmus indicates the otoconia are where?

A

otoconia are in the canal

30
Q

When testing the horizontal SCC…
Ageotropic nystagmus indicates the otoconia are where?

A

otoconia are stuck in the cupula

31
Q

Movement of fluid and otoconia TOWARDS the cupula is _________?

A

excitatory

32
Q

Movement of fluid and otoconia _________the cupula is Inhibitory?

A

AWAY

33
Q

the epley maneuver treats what kinda BPPV?

A

Post/ant SCC canalathiasis BPPV

34
Q

Explain the steps of the epley maneuver (CRM)

A
  1. pt long sit
  2. rotate pt head 45deg towards affect side
  3. quickly bring pt down to supine w/ head off table end and cerv into ext
  4. hold for 30 secs or until nystagmus/dizziness ends
  5. Rotate to other side and hold for 30 secs or until nystagmus/dizziness ends
  6. Have pt then get onto their shoulder on the side they are currently turned to and look towards the ground, hold for 30 secs or until nystagmus/dizziness ends
  7. bring pt into short sit and GAURD!!!
  8. pop some bottles if ya did it right
35
Q

When would you do a liberatory semont maneuver?

A

for post/ant canal cupulothiasis

36
Q

describe how to do the liberatory semont maneuver to treat R Post SCC cupulo

A
  1. have pt rot head 45deg to left
  2. lower swiftly onto Right side
  3. hold for 1 min
  4. with PT assistance the pt is RAPIDLY put onto left side while maintaining the same head position (tell pt to land on forearms and elbows)
  5. hold for 1 min, eyes should be down towards the ground
  6. slowly bring back to sitting and guard
37
Q

what does the bbq roll maneuver tx?

A

horizontal canal BPPV

38
Q

Explain how to do the roll test

A
  1. pt is supine with 20-30deg of cerv flx
  2. quickly rotate head to a side, hold for 1 min
  3. bring pt head back to midline
  4. rot pt head to the opp direction and hold for 1 min

geotropic nsyt = canalathiasis in horiz SCC of down ear
ageotropic nyst = cupulothiasis in other ear

39
Q

explain how to do the bbq roll maneuver
(tx for horiz SCC canalathiasis)
FINISH THIS CARD SLIDE 56

A
  1. pt is supine with 20-30deg of cerv flx
  2. quickly rotate head to a side, hold for 30 secs
  3. maintaining 30deg of cerv flx rot pt head to the opp direction and hold for 30 secs
  4. now roll onto the shoudler and then onto belly and have pt look down.
  5. cue pt to tuck chin and hold for 30 secs
  6. roll onto the shoulder of the affected ear (head in neutral now) and hold for 30 secs
  7. slowly sit up and GUARD!!
40
Q

prolonged positioning may also help when done right for horiz SCC tings.
A pt with left horizontal SCC cupulothiasis asks what side they should sleep on? whats your answer?

A

pts w/ Left horizontal SCC cupulothiasis or R horizontal canalithiasis can both benefit from laying on their LEFT side

Cupulo = same side sleep canalathiasis = opp side sleep

41
Q

prolonged positioning may also help when done right for horiz SCC tings.
A pt with left horizontal SCC canalathiasis asks what side they should sleep on? whats your answer?

A

pts w/ right horizontal SCC cupulothiasis or Left horizontal canalithiasis can both benefit from laying on their RIGHT side

42
Q

what is canal conversion?

A

when the crystals find theyselves in new canal they werent originally in. can happen after a shitty attempt at CRM or naturally months after tx in clinic.

43
Q

how long after successfully tx a pt w/ BPPV should you follow up w/ em?

A

1 month after to ensure they ight

44
Q

The patient c/o vertigo while looking up at their phone when lying in bed.
How would you examine them?
a) Dix Hallpike
b) Roll Test
c) sidelying test?

A

a) Dix Hallpike
tis the gold standard, stand on it

45
Q

The patient c/o vertigo while looking up at their phone when lying in bed.
Which canal and area is involved if the nystagmus is upbeating for 15 seconds?
a) Posterior Canal
b) Anterior Canal
c) Posterior Cupula
d) Anterior Cupula

A

a) Posterior Canal

<60 secs indicates crystals in canal
upbeating nystagmus is post canal
downbeating nyst is ant canal

46
Q

The patient c/o vertigo while looking up at their phone when lying in bed. They have (+) dix hallpike with Upbeating nystagmus…
What intervention do you perform?
a) Epley
b) Liberatory Semont
c) BBQ Roll
d) Gufoni Manuever
e) Give pt crisp high five and tell them to figure it out

A

a) Epley

its what ya do after the dix hallpike dummy
