However, patients can still have a postural imbalance that can be associated with a fall. BPPV is associated with an increased incidence of falls, especially in our elderly population. Patients with BPPV normally have an attack of vertigo and feeling off balance. Patients with VA who may have BPPV don\u2019t get that warning spinning and have sudden falls or changes in postural control because the brain isn&#8217;t providing the proper signals to interpret vestibular input and prevent a fall.<\/p>\n<p>To rule out BPPV, it is important to get a thorough Vestibular evaluation on anyone with sudden falls. Though the perception of vertigo is not present in these patients, the neurological response of nystagmus is apparent on evaluation, and your Vestibular Therapist can effectively treat it with an Epley maneuver in the same way normal BPPV is treated.<\/p>\n<p>Wendy Webb Schoenewald, PT, OCS,<br \/>\nWWS Physical Therapy and Vestibular Rehabilitation<br \/>\nDoylestown, PA.<\/p>\n<p>(215) 489 -3234<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vestibular Agnosia (VA)is a newly recognized condition in the brain that results in loss of vertigo perception and postural imbalance.
