- Arranging for a professional physician and therapist for rehabilitative exercise training to improve dizziness and balance function.
Examination Plan:
Hallpike-Dix test, Sensory Organization Test, Limit of Stability, Dynamic Visual Acuity Test, Head Impulse test
Treatment Plan:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: In the clinic, after confirming the direction of nystagmus through an eye examination, direct canalith repositioning procedure will be performed. (Please inform the doctor of any relevant spinal medical history.)
- Physical therapy: Gaze stabilization exercises, weight-bearing exercises, balance training, and ambulation training.
Discharge Plan:
- Begin by sitting on a chair and doing gaze stabilization exercises. Rotate the head at a frequency of one turn per second, three times a day for 30 seconds each time. Continue training until achieving a rotation frequency of two turns per second.
- Turn on the TV and use the TV screen as a background to simulate rehabilitation exercises in a complex environment. Sit in a chair and do gaze stabilization exercise training.
- Place a chair in front of you and stand behind it to do gaze stabilization exercises while maintaining balance. If you feel like you might fall, please hold onto the chair in front of you for support.
- Follow-up with further visits for ongoing monitoring.
