Vertigo Treatment Device
Posted on Jun 30, 08 09:52 AM PDT
There's been a breakthrough where folks experiencing benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) can now be treated thanks to the Epley Omniax system which uses glasses equipped with infrared sensors that are able to track the eye of a patient sitting in a free-rotating chair that performs "canalith repositioning maneuvers". Since many people have loose particles known as otoconia which are found in the semi-circular canals of the inner ear, the monitoring of the eyes will be able to detect the particles' presence while shaking them out of the sensitive areas by rotating the patient so that the sense of vertigo can be cured.
