Vestibular Function: Clinical and Practice Management

Multiple etiologies and a lack of clinical evidence contribute to the challenges of diagnosing and treating dizziness and balance disorders. These health-related complaints are common among the fastest growing age group (75+). This text provides a dynamic introduction to balance disorders -- the first of its kind to explore the clinical, scientific, and economic demands of the field. The cause and effect of vestibular and balance disorders extend into a broad range of specialities, making proper treatment more relevant and critical than ever. This basic but thorough instructional book offers a complete overview of the field and is a practical hands-on guide for beginners, as well as a useful reference for audiologists, otolaryngologists, physical therapists, and neurologists working in this challenging field of practice.
