Title: Vestibular Dysfunction and its Therapy
Description: Vertigo or dizziness (including involuntary eye movements causing oscillopsia and impaired vision) is one of the most frequent complaints of patients visiting a doctor. In spite of increasing knowledge on the neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuropharmacology of the underlying mechanisms, therapy is often not satisfactory and further research efforts are still required. The book provides the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to the topic for all involved in the diagnosis and therapy: physicians (neurologists, otorhinolaryngologists, ophthalmologists), physical therapists and orthoptic assistants. A comprehensive review of basic mechanisms, as well as the clinical picture and its therapy are given. It also is valuable for scientists in basic research who want to relate oculomotor, vestibular and neuropharmacological results to their findings.
