Official Title
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo in Older Adults: Treatment Efficacy and the Impact on Balance, Inactivity and Frailty
Brief Summary
Despite the growing research on Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo (BPPV), the impact and treatment efficacy on balance, physical activity (and consequently) frailty in elderly is lacking. Also, the added value of the video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) in this population has never been studied before. With insights gained from this research, we hope to contribute to an efficient treatment of BPPV in this growing population and to minimize its impact and healthcare burden.
