Practical Management of the Balance Disorder Patient

Rating:
Summary: A must-have reference
Review: An excellent resource for any medical professional involved in caring for patients with vertigo or unsteadiness. The approach is clear and concise, with many sample cases. This is the only text I've seen which provides a logical, stepwise and complete approach to the difficult task of diagnosis and treatment for this group of patients. The included normative data wil be very helpful for those just starting to build a balance assessment testing program.

Summary: The Practical Management of the Balance Disorder Patient
Review: As a first year graduate student in Audiology, this book, at first glance seemed like an impossible read. The writing is extremely dry and medically based. After finally getting through the first chapter, the rest seemed to be significantly easier. All in all, it has been an extremely informative book and will be an important addition to my permanant reference collection. For anyone interested in the testing and diagnosing of balance disorders, this is an essential read.

Review: The book is not written for beginners. It offers keypoint concepts of the basic balance physiology and the vestibular funcion tests. If you are ever puzzled by the conflicts of those results in vestibular function tests and can't figure out which test or tests to relay on during your clinical evaluation, you would feel wonderful after you read it . You must read it to be a expert but it certaintely isn't your first book .
