Why use 2 targets and not VORx1? It’s a great place to start for someone with impaired saccades or when VOR/gaze stability exercises aren’t tolerated.
Add vertical, diagonal, clockwise/counterclockwise; add cognitive challenge by finding specific letters! #vestibularrehab

Cervicogenic dizziness is a complex and controversial diagnosis.
Doctors struggle without a single confirmatory test.
The human body is beautifully complex, not always a simple equation.
We must put on our thinking caps to piece together the puzzle.

Positional nystagmus – is it BPPV?
🔎DIRECTION: Look for upward torsion toward affected ear.
⏳ LATENCY: Notice short delay before nystagmus kicks in.
⏰ TIME: Watch for brief burst following a crescendo-decrescendo. If symptoms persist despite treatment, explore other diagnoses.

😨 Scared of stroke! Luckily, saw these findings, consistent w/ peripheral issue:
o Direction fixed nystagmus
o Nystagmus reduces with fixation
o Positive head impulse test
Keys: able to (1) understand nystagmus patterns; (2) eliminate fixation w/ infrared goggles. #vestibular
