Function
Gaze Stabilization
• Ability to maintain visual acuity while the body/head is in motion
Postural Stability
• Ability to maintain upright posture, balance and equilibrium inresponse to body movements
Motion Sensitivity
• information about the position and movement of the head in space
Is this Important to the Athlete?
• Head can accelerate up to 6,000o/sec during sports activities
• Achieve frequencies of up to 20 Hz
• Decreases in visual acuity can occur with as little a 1o of error
• Only vestibular system can detect movements this fast(oculomotor system < 60 deg/sec

Pearls
– Have patient describe their symptoms withoutusing the word dizzy
– Differentiate between duration of vertigo andduration of symptoms (dysequilibrium, nausea)
Examination
• Rule out more sinister pathology
– VBI, bleed, cervical injury
• Cervical Screen
• Oculomotor Exam
• Evaluation 3 functions of vestibular system
– Gaze stability
– Postural stability
– Motion sensitivity
Examination
• Oculomotor Examination• Need to assess patients eye movements without head
movement
– Smooth Pursuit
– Gaze
– Saccades
– Convergence
Examination
• Gaze stability
– Head Impulse Test (HIT)
• Evaluates function of the VOR
– Dynamic Visual Acuity Test (DVAT)
• Measures visual acuity at set speed (2 Hz)
– Gaze Stability
• Pt selects speed of movement while viewing set target
8
Gaze Stabilization: HIT
• Head pitched at 30 deg flex
• Pt asked to focus on target (i.e. examiner’s nose)
• Pt’s head rotated slowly rotated side-to-side approximately 30 deg
• Quick thrust applied to R or L
• Normal = no corrective saccade
• Abnormal = corrective saccade when thrust to weak side
• Good specificity; Poor sensitivity
Demonstration
Gaze Stabilization: HIT
Demonstration
Gaze Stabilization: DVAT
1) Pt asked to read letters on Snellen Chartwith head stationary
2) Pt’s head rotated side-to-side at 2 Hz
3) Pt asked to read letters on Snellen Chart
4) Abnormal if > 2-3 line change
Gaze Stabilization: Dynamic Visual Acuity
Gaze Stabilization: VORx1
Speed at which patient can read a word with stable font size
1) Pt asked to sit arms length from a target (ie business card)
2) Pt asked rotate their head side-to-side approx 30 deg, as fast as possible while still able to read the word
3) If performed for 1 min, can determine relative velocity in Hz
4) Normal = 2 Hz5) Repeat in vertical plane
Demonstration
Examination
• Postural Stability
– Test balance under varying conditions
– Solid vs foam surface
– Eyes open vs closed
– Head stationary vs head in motion
– Static vs dynamic (ie, walking, running)
– BESS, CTSIB, FGA
9
Examination
• Motion sensitivity
– Is dizziness elicited by change in body position?
• lying down
• Turning
• Bending over
– Rate intensity, duration, presence of associatedsigns and symptoms (ie. nystagmus, nausea)
Vestibular Pathology
• Central Lesion– Disrupts the brains ability to process incoming
information
• Peripheral Lesion– Disrupts information coming into the brain
• Faulty afferent information or faultyprocessing results in faulty motor output
• VOR, VSR
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
• Most common cause of vertigo
• Pathophysiology: – Displacement of otoconia into SCC (predominantly posterior canal)
• Key symptoms:– Onset: Sudden, intense vertigo with head movements
– Quality: spinning sensation
– Duration: Short
– Provoking factors: change in head position (esp lying down/rolling over)
– Other symptoms: may have mild imbalance
• Diagnosis
– Dix-Hallpike manuever
– Roll Test
BPPV Continued…….
• Dx by positive finding on Dix-Hallpike positioning maneuver– Latency (10 - 30 sec) followed by intense vertigo of transient duration
– Subjective report of vertigo by patient
– Rotary-torsional nystagmus in the direction of the involved canal• Posterior/anterior canal = torsional nystagmus
• Horizontal canal = horizontal nystagmus
• Lasts weeks to months with spontaneous recovery
• Highly responsive to treatment maneuvers (80%)– Epley Maneuver, Semont, etc.
Dix-Hallpike
BPPV
• 3 groups: 1) BPPV, 2) Non-specificdizzy, 3) No dizzy
• 50% of patient w/ co dizziness diagnosed with BPPV
• 33% diagnosed with BPPV did notreport classic symptoms, 2 reported no dizziness
• 38.1% of NSD group reported symptoms similar to BPPV (brief vertigo), 80% positional in nature
• BPPV group received CRM, 75% reported resolution of symptoms at12 week f/u
10
BPPV Continued…….
R sided posterior canal BPPV
Dix-Hallpike (which side?) Right Torsional Nystagmus
Epley Maneuver
Treatment for Right BPPV in the
Posterior SCC
KEY: Hold each position at least 1 minute!!!

Cervicogenic Dizziness
• Sensory Mismatch:– C-Spine Somatosensory Input ≠ Visual & Vestibular– Abnormal Sensory Input from Neck Proprioceptors
• Differential Dx: Dx of Exclusion
– Assoc with Trauma/Whiplash, Postural Strain or Neck Pain– Severe arthritis– R/O Peripheral/Central Vestibulopathy– R/O more sinister pathologies: VA insufficiency, TBI
• Symptoms:– “Spacey, Off, Not quite right”
– Neck pain• Rx:
– Manual therapy
– Proprioception training (think rehab for ankle sprain)
Cervicogenic Dizziness
Treatment:• Deep neck flexors, ROM• Progressed from motor
control/ROM to max strength via isometrics
• VOR training• Education
Outcomes…improved:• DHI• NDI• Catastrophising• Fear of movement• Balance
Cervicogenic Dizziness
Mixed results with manual therapy• No change in balance or ROM, but
decreased report of subjective dizziness

15.5 vs 26
Treatment
– initial period of rest (exact guidelines not established)
– Gradually introduce provoking stimuli (ie. Lights, sounds, exertion)
– Early Sub-symptom exercise (stationary bike, treadmill,low-impact strength, etc)
– Rehab: Vestibular, Ocular, Cervical Spine
– Neuropsychology
– Nutrition/hydration
– Sleep
Treatment
• BPPV = canalith repositioning (Epley manuever)
• All others: Improve gain of VOR, balance,reduce symptoms
Treatment
• Adaptation
– Improve the gain of the VOR
– Exposure to retinal slip promoted centralreprogramming
– central vestibular neurons adjust their input-outputrelationships
• Habituation
– Repeat exposure to provoking activity/movement
– Central inhibition of vestibular nuclei
Treatment
Adaptation• Vestibular Stimuli produces an error signal between the
head and visual input
• Attempt to create “retinal slip”
• Recovery is task and frequency specific
• VOR exercises▫ VOR x 1
▫ VOR x 2
▫ Combination of VOR and eye saccades (Horiz Targets)
Treatment
Adaptation• Strategies
• Incorporate horizontal and vertical planes of movement
• Repeated exposure to retinal slip promoted adaptation
• Exercise performed for 1-2 min
• Repeated throughout the day up to 5 times
• “A little bit often”
• Progress gradually (large jumps in difficulty may not be as effective)
12
Treatment
• 1. PredictableRandom Moving
• 2. Small-amplitudelarge-amplitude movements.
• 3. SlowFast
• 4. Large targetsSmall targets
• 5. Solid/Simple backgroundComplex or Moving background
Treatment
Treatment Treatment
Other progressions• static to dynamic
• Sitting, standing, stand of foam, walking
• Include Hand-eye coordination (ie catch/throw)
• Cognitive tasks• Math problems, memory, decision making
Treatment
• Habituation– Determine the plane of movement that provokes the
patients symptoms– Symptoms will be most intense if movement occurs in
the plane of the SCCs or otolith organs– Speed of movement matters– Begin with simple movements, progress to more
dynamic as symptoms improve• Vertical movements:
– Sitting nose-to-kneestanding wood chopsburpees
• Horizontal:– Rolling in bedwall rolling (90o, 180o…)turn&catch
Treatment

Treatment
Put it into function:
• Individualize progression based on thepatients needs
• What sport do they play? What position?
Treatment
Postural Stability:
• Works to improve VSR
• Focus of sensory reweighting– Visual, somatosensory, vestibular
– Remove dominant mode of input (typicallyvision)
– Progression: static to dynamic
» firmfoamadd head movements
Treatment
• Review:
– Relies on central reprogramming
– Specific to plane and frequency of movement
– “a little bit often”
– Gradual progression better than large jumps
– “top down approach”
• Vestibular system is head referenced
– “the brain can’t fix what the brain can’t see”
Treatment
• Slow progression initially
• Symptoms shouldimprove with rest
Sports Specific
Consider
sport and position
• Need to challenge visualand vestibular system in functional ways
Sports Specific
14
How do we relate this to the athlete?
• Recent AP survey found majority of NFL players were “not at all” or “less concerned” about the effects of concussions compared to other injuries
• Visual and Vestibular deficits Associated with
– Neurocognitive deficits
– Proprioception
– Processing speed
• Neurocognitive deficits are emerging as a risk factor for other injuries, including ACL tears
