Brief summary: In addition to the channelize reposition maneuvers (KRM) that will be applied by the physician in patients diagnosed with Benign paroxysmal positional Vertigo (BPPV), the aim of the study is to investigate the effect of vestibular rehabilitation exercises that will be October based on telerehabilitation by the physiotherapist.

Detailed description: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), the most common form of recurrent vertigo the common cause. Short-term, occurring with specific head movements, it is described as episodic, transient vertigo attacks.Calcium in the movement of the head autocoids formed from carbonate crystals emerge from the places and one or more crystals enter the semicircular channel, which affects the endolymphatic flow of the Vertigo leads to the formation. BPPV is also characterized by positional nystagmus along side positional vertigo. BPPV often causes a person to restrict person's life and weeks or it recovers spontaneously within months. Autolytic debrides in the cupula aimed at separating the cupula or removing the clutches from the canal vestibular exercises or maneuvers significantly accelerate healing. In the treatment of BPPV, vestibular rehabilitation applications are used primarily.As a vestibular rehabilitation, the canalith reposition maneuver, developed by Epley and effective, is often preferred. Telerehabilitation, rehabilitation by the use of electronic communication systems describes the provision of services to patients remotely. Transport to health services to provide an effective rehabilitation service to patients when limited it takes advantage of telerehabilitation. Some studies show that telerehabilitation can reduce health care costs, improve physical and mental function and quality of life, and be presented in a way that satisfies patients.The Covid-19 epidemic outbreak has affected health care. To protect healthcare workers and patients from the risk of infection, to ensure widespread use of telecommunications technology instead of face-to-face clinical visits, rules, regulations.With these arrangements, telerehabilitation became of great importance for physiotherapists.High levels of evidence on image-based telerehabilitation technologies suggest that they can be used for remote diagnosis and patient follow-up and are the most effective method for physiotherapists. Pain of exercise through telerehabilitation compared to other interventions, it has at least similar effects on physical function and quality of life references. As a method of vestibular rehabilitation, mostly when examined in the literature it has been observed that manoeuvring has been applied and these practices have been compared with drugs. In this study, aim is to support the literature by adding exercise practices given according to the levels of telerehabilitation-based patients along with maneuver practices.
