What therapy intervention is most beneficial for BPPV - -Canalith repositioning
maneuvers are a highly effective treatment for BPPV and are designed to dislodge the
provoking canaliths. This treatment technique attempts to move the canalith debris out
of the affected semicircular canal and back to the otolith. Canalith repositioning
maneuvers begin in the Dix-Hallpike position to provoke vertigo. Repeated head rolling
utilizes gravity to assist with movement of the debris. Treatment continues until no
further nystagmus is noted.

the side of the uterus, below the uterine tube, extending to the labia majora. The
ligament functions to maintain the fundus of the uterus in a forward position.

size treatment area.
