| description | Older adults are susceptible to Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). While BPPV can be treated efficaciously with repositioning manoeuvres, some patients may experience residual dizziness and other problems. It is uncertain what factors are associated with residual dizziness in older adults. The evidence on treatment outcomes in older adults are conflicting and their experiences unexplored. This thesis aims to address these evidence gaps, and gain insight into the rehabilitation outcomes/experiences and residual dizziness in older adults with BPPV. |
