Routine benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) physiotherapy management: a feasibility study
BPPV management was not feasible in this population predominantly due to physical limitations and cognitive impairment. Physiotherapists perceive BPPV management as important but difficult amongst these patient-factors and competing clinical priorities. Subjective symptoms may not indicate BPPV risk, however, the 5-item DHI may identify need for individual assessment.
