Deep Brandt-Daroff Exercises, proposed by Dr. Michael Teixido for home treatment of anterior canalithiasis, can be used in patients who cannot hang the head sufficiently to perform the Casani Maneuver. Deep Brandt-Daroff exercises require the patient to hang the head below horizontal in each lateral position. This modification creates significant movement of anterior canaliths.
This simulation was created using a BPPV model created by Michael Teixido MD and colleagues from human histology. An organized presentation of videos that illustrate distinctions important to the diagnosis and treatment of BPPV can be seen at BPPVViewer.com.
