I am not a physician, nurse, or physical therapist: I'm a photographer who awoke one morning several months ago to a sudden, severe, and debilitating case of vertigo. It subsided within 48 hours but left me with both impaired vision, balance, and coordination. In my search for answers, I was able to correctly diagnose what caused my vertigo (the hospital physicians as well as my regular physician had misdiagnosed my condition) and found a physical therapy clinic specializing in balance rehabilitation. My physical therapist recommended this book to me; even though it is a medical textbook, I found it wonderfully informative. The extensive rehabilitative exercises in this book both reinforced and supplemented those from my physical therapist; while it took a bit of study to understand some of the background technical information it was well worth the effort. This is an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to understand and learn more about the many conditions that can cause vertigo, as well as covering different diagnostic techniques and rehabilitative exercises. I am happy to report that I have now fully recovered from any impairment from my case of "vestibular neuritis", and am much better prepared to address any other incidence of vertigo that may occur for both myself and my family. Highly recommended.
This is the "bible" of vestibular dysfunction and treatment. As a PT who works with patients with vestibular dysfunction I have found this book invaluable. A must have for any PT working with patients with vestibular disorders.
Great reference text. Plenty of pictures/photos/diagrams to help visualize concepts.
Every PT who practices vestibular rehabilitation needs to have this most up-to-date book at their fingertips!
Great textbook. Many new sections added. Deeper explanations
Outstandingly thorough. My therapist studied under Dr. Herdman and implements Dr. Herdman's prescriptions.
this was for my daughter who is a Neuro Physical Therapist....she loves it!
Excellent textbook
