Aimed at professionals wishing to set up a vestibular
rehabilitation programme, this text examines the management of
patients with chronic balance problems. The introductory chapters
explain how we balance, the pathological mechanism that may affect
balance, common balance disorders and the diagnostic tests used for
identifying these conditions. Later chapters look at physiological
mechanisms that enable recovery from peripheral vestibular
disorders, the various modes of treatment of vertiginous syndromes,
the principles underlying physical exercise regimes, and the
practical application of rehabilitation techniques. Psychological
sequelae are frequently found in patients with vestibular
disorders, and the diagnosis and management of these conditions are
also discussed.
Noise damage to hearing health is a health risk, which is
associated with both civilian and military occupations as well as
certain leisure activities. Occupational noise damage to hearing
must date from the Bronze Age, when man first began to fashion
metals some five thousand years ago. The rapid growth of
industrialisation over the past two centuries has produced what
might be termed as the current civilian epidemic of occupational
noise induced hearing loss. This series seeks to address points
relevant to current knowledge of the subject. The volume should
prove useful to members of the many disciplines that have an
interest in this subject.
