The new edition of this book provides an up-to-date and
comprehensive overview of whiplash-associated disorders, focusing
in particular on a functional approach to clinical and instrumental
diagnosis and rehabilitative treatment. It fully reflects the
changes in our understanding of whiplash injuries since the first
edition, and in particular the increased awareness that whiplash is
a whole-body trauma in which forces act progressively from the
lumbar region to the brain, through the cervical spine. Detailed
attention is paid to the functional connections between the sense
organs of the inner ear, the sympathetic system, and the spine with
a view to optimizing diagnosis and treatment. It is explained how
various treatment options can be employed to best effect in
patients with different symptoms, following, but updating, the
well-known Quebec Task Force guidelines. Underestimated aspects
such as positional vertigo, somatic tinnitus, temporomandibular
disorders, and back pain are also considered. This book will be an
invaluable tool in everyday clinical practice for all who are
involved in the diagnosis and treatment of whiplash injury.

This book describes in detail rehabilitation protocols specific for
those disorders that most frequently induce vertigo and dizziness.
In particular, it highlights exercise protocols that will enable
the best result to be obtained within the shortest time and with
the most enduring therapeutic effect. Drawing on their personal
experience, the authors describe physical exercises that will prove
effective in delivering vestibular rehabilitation all over the
world, regardless of the rehabilitation tools available. The
protocol standardization and the reduction in instrumental
rehabilitation mean that even though some individual tailoring is
required, it will be possible to plan cost-effective rehabilitation
within both the institutional and the private practice setting. The
presented protocols cover vertigo in a wide range of conditions,
including acute and chronic vestibular loss, vestibular ataxia,
benign positional paroxysmal vertigo, M ni re's disease, dizziness
in the elderly, whiplash-associated balance disorders, phobic
postural vertigo, and autonomic vertigo. Helpful information is
provided on clinical approach to vertigo and dizziness and on
vestibular rehabilitation from Cawthorne-Cooksey onward. The
quantification of rehabilitation outcome and the role of life-style
counseling are also discussed. By documenting effective functional
and therapeutic approaches and presenting guidelines for each
balance disorder, Vertigo Rehabilitation Protocols will be an
invaluable resource for neurologists, ENT physicians, orthopedists,
and rehabilitation specialists.
Il libro espone un approccio diagnostico basato su una
semeiotica clinica molto approfondita, ripetibile, con alta
validita interoperatore. Espone anche una ampia gamma di terapie
tutte appartenenti alla "medicina convenzionale" e un utilizzo
razionale di queste terapie, impiegate secondo adatte strategie nei
vari quadri clinici descritti. Svolge aspetti nuovi e particolari
nel trattamento di problemi connessi alla colonna vertebrale:
disturbi del sistema di equilibrio di origine propriocettiva,
medicina sportiva, nuove per l ernia discale, biofeedback, ecc.
Inoltre non rinuncia a una esposizione sintetica delle basi anatomo
fisiologiche del movimento e del dolore, agli aspetti
psico-emozionali, a quelli medico-legali."
