Kohut, MD Arch Fam Med. 1996;5(3):172-173. Abstract Patients who had disorders of the vestibular system with a component of benign postural vertigo as a symptom were studied, using an examination table suitable for the canalith (otolith) repositioning maneuver, as described by Epply, followed by lack of recumbency for 48 hours. The patients regularly had resolution or decreased intensity of symptoms, as did those described by Epply. A repeated positioning maneuver may be needed in some of the patients. The application of a vibrator, as previously described, has not been found to be essential.
