Vestibular haiku in honor of my last day: rotary falling, objects all around spinning. CRP Ta-da!!

Comment I hear most often from my patients "I would never pass a sobriety test!"

Patient in 40's c 1 fall/mo for last 6 mo and fall walking into the clinic c dx of dermatomyositis. Anyone have experience with this dx?

Pt and wife demand Epley b/c they read about it online, neg positional tests, NTG consistent with UVH... Lots of ed on why its not indicated

Pt s/p CVA years ago with BPPV, experienced vertigo and would go into extensor pattern... Unexpected.

@RebeccaM_DPT been through various imaging... Neg for nph and psp, and Parkinson's

@feij23 been through various imaging... Neg for nph and psp

Pt presents with crouched gait, bradykinetic, festinating gait, freezing, hypomimia...Neuro imaging and report says negative for Parkinsons

High level bal pt s/p CVA, diff c multistep tasks 2/2 impaired motor planning & impulsivity...Ideas for simple, high level bal activities?

Pt with spinocerebellar ataxia had sig improv with control of momentum walking up ramp with weighted vest. Cool to see evidence in action

CSM pearl I use daily- Dix and Epley are not velocity dependent, it's the head position in relat to gravity- great for anxious/geriatric pop

It was an atypical BPPV kind of day... Even had an acute inpatient BPPV consult

Pt today c LP-BPPV, when doing the modified Epley otoconia kept retrograding back, couldn't get it to pass c liberatory either. Thoughts?

Great CSM programming- canine thoracic mob, gait velocity, external cues and lots of vestibular! #CSM2014 #latetweet2/2stolenphone

Patient dx c Arnold-Chiari malformation as adult. Had a partial craniectomy at occiput. Comes in c new onset HA and dizziness c recent flu.

Treated pt for BPPV last week and they returned feeling "100% better"! #success #happypatient

First week in clinic and using Balance Master and infrared goggles. #vestibularPT

Tweeting my clinical experience... Much harder than anticipated for women's health rotation. I loved living vicariously through peers tho!

@jaclynspirtos I did a lot of skin rolling too! Definitely not pleasant!

Last day... Worked with patient with prosthetic eye and tunnel vision in the other... I'd have balance issues too!
