Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate whether positional tests should be routinely performed on all elderly patients (65 years and older) presenting to primary care with symptoms of acute, episodic, or chronic dizziness or vertigo, unsteadiness, imbalance, and/or an increased tendency to fall in the past 12 months. Study aims to investigate whether diagnostic maneuvers should be performed regardless of the presence of conventional positional vertigo presentation associated with classical cases of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Specifically, the study aims to identify "hidden" cases of BPPV and assess the potential benefits of clinical screening and initial treatment of BPPV in primary care setting thus improving the BPPV-related quality of life and reducing the risk of falls in the elderly population.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Patients aged 65 years or older and present to the primary care clinic with one or several of the following:

1. Acute, episodic, or chronic sensation of dizziness/vertigo.
2. Subjective or objective imbalance during stance or movements.
3. Presented with increased tendency of falls by exhibiting unintentional loss of balance resulting in a fall one or more times in the past 12 months.

2. Patients presenting with pathologies in which head and neck movements/manipulations are contraindicated, including (but not limited to): cervical instability, acute head and neck trauma, known cervical disk prolapse, Arnold-Chiari malformation, vascular pathologies such as carotid sinus syncope, vascular dissection and vertebrobasilarinsufficiency, including patients with paralysis as well as those with reduced mobility, in whom diagnostic maneuvers cannot be correctly performed.
