Brief Summary

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common types of vertigo, especially in elderly. Therefore the investigators have set the goal to evaluate the prevalence of BPPV and its therapy using the Rotundum device in elderly living in retirement homes. Furthermore the investigators use a questionnaire to evaluate possible predictive signs to improve the diagnosis of this disease.

Conditions

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Prevalence of BPPV

  subjects

  Subjects (outcome measure) are assessed during the first 4 Years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluation of predictive Factors

  Is assessed after all subjects have been tested (after 5 Years)

Study Arms (1)

Evaluation of prevalence of BPPV

EXPERIMENTAL

Epley/Barbeque maneuver will be performed using the Rotundum Device to assess if subject has BPPV, patient will thereafter be treated for it using the Rotundum Device.

Diagnostic Test: Epley maneuver/Barbeque maneuver

Interventions

Epley maneuver/Barbeque maneuver DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Subjects will be rotated using the Rotundum Device to perform the previously described maneuvers Epley/Barbeque to evaluate the presence of BPPV.

Evaluation of prevalence of BPPV
