A2 - Clendaniel, Richard A. PY - 2014 T2 - Vestibular Rehabilitation AB - Patients with vestibular disease may complain of vertigo, oscillopsia, or the visual consequences of nystagmus.1Vertigo means whirling or spinning, but the term is also used to describe other illusions of motion, and implies vestibular imbalance. Oscillopsia consists of illusory, oscillatory movements of the seen environment. When oscillopsia occurs with head movements, it usually implies loss of vestibular function. Oscillopsia also may occur when the head is stationary in patients with spontaneous nystagmus. In this chapter, we review current treatments for vertigo, oscillopsia, and the visual consequences of nystagmus from the standpoint of known pathophysiology. SN - PB - F. A.
