Patient Name _______________________ DOB ____________ Informed Consent ______
Physician ___________________ Diagnosis ___________________ ICD-9 ____________
Demographics
History Systems Review (medical referral vs. self report)
Onset Episodic or Chronic? Triggers? Getting worse?
Symptoms (vertigo, disequilibrium, tilting sensation, light headedness, diplopia)
Frequency
Severity
Duration
Latency
Effect of repeating movement
Activity Level / Occupation
Movements avoided (lifestyle changes)
Patient’s Perceived Level of Dizziness ___/10 (Borg Dizziness scale)
Dizziness Handicap Inventory: (questionnaire of perceived disability due to dizziness - function, emotion, physical)
Functional Disability Scale (see O’Sullivan, Schmitz. 5th ed. p.1005, Table 24.2)
Fear of Falling: ABC
Vestibular Function Tests: Caloric, VNG (vestibonystagmogram), Rotary Chair, Posturography, MRI
Previous Treatments
Medications: meclizine (Antivert, Bonine); diuretic
Functional Disability Scale (O’Sullivan & Schmitz)
Posture
ROM
Cervical (cervicogenic vertigo)
Shoulders
Ankles
Muscle Function
Strength (PF, heel rise x 25 = 5/5)
Spasticity
Rigidity
Sensation
Touch/pain
Proprioception
Kinesthetic awareness
Stereognosis
Coordination
Finger to nose RAMs
Past Pointing (arm drift to side of lesion) = static vestibular imbalance
Oculomotor Testing (CN 3, 4, 6)
Smooth Pursuit (within 30º arc; indicative of vestibule-cerebellar involvement)
End point Nystagmus
Gaze Evoked Nystagmus (indicative of vestibulocerebellar disorder)
Saccades (within 15º arc; rapid refixating movements; indicative of cerebellar involvement)
Spontaneous Nystagmus
Oscillopsia: blurred vision with head movement, e.g., decreased VOR Gain with head movement
Skew Deviation
Cover-Cross-Cover Test (usually a brainstem involvement)
OTR
Convergence / Divergence
SVV (subjective visual vertical)
SVH (subjective visual horizontal)
OKN (optokinetic nystagmus) Test
VOR
VOR Gain
Maintained fixation (30º neck flexion, slow) horizontal ______ vertical ______
Head Thrust Test (30º neck flexion, unpredictable head thrust)
Head Shake (30º neck flexion, EC with frenzels, 20x; ≤3 beats of nystagmus)
VOR Cancellation (cerebellar inhibition of VOR gain)
Dynamic Visual Acuity # lines lost _____ (30º neck flexion, > 2 lines lost is indicative of vestibular hypofunction)
Positional Maneuvers
Motion Sensitivity Score
Vertebral Artery (sitting, leaning forward, elbows on knees)
Dix Hallpike Test (PSCC=torsional upbeat; ASCC=torsional downbeat)
Supine Roll Test (horizontal SCC: geotropic=canalithiasis; ageotropic=cupulolithiasis)
Spontaneous nystagmus ______ Sit to Supine Test: ______
Static Balance (Vestibulospinal reflex –VSR)
Sitting
Stance
Romberg (EO / EC)
Sharpened Romberg (tandem,EO / EC)
Single Leg Stance (EO / EC)
Perturbation: Postural Stress Test: (“Push and Release”: therapist gives a sustained push from the front, back, sides, so the person is close to their limit of stability. Then suddenly release the push.)
Modified CTSIB - Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance (“Foam & Dome” correlates with
Sensory Organization Test (SOT); observe sway, time position is held, movement strategy)
Dynamic Balance (self initiated movement)
Functional Reach (multidirectional, up to limits of stability)
Fukuda Step Test (not validated, but useful for discussion, education)
o >50 cm forward; 30º angle turn = 60% probability of peripheral lesion
o 90º turn = 90% probability of peripheral lesion
Functional Performance
(Berg Balance Test)
Habitual Gait Speed
TandemWalk (10’, EC; with a BVL patient will lose balance with EO)
Functional Gait Assessment (30/30)(vestibular items)
Timed Up & Go Test (> 10 sec indicates fall risk: independent community ambulatory)
5 Times Sit-to-Stand (> 10 sec indicates fall risk: independent community ambulatory)
Physical Therapy Assessment
Treatment Rendered
Repositioning Maneuver
Precautions
Home Exercise Program
Goals
Gaze stabilization
Postural stability
Dissociation of head from trunk
Habituation
Other
Treatment Plan / Recommendations

-----------------------
Compensatory eye movements: combine to stabilize object on same area of retina = visual stability
• VOR
• Optokinetic reflex
• Smooth pursuit
• Neck reflexes, Cervical Ocular Reflex (COR)
Lateropulsion:
• lesion above vestibular nuclei
• head tilt
• perceptual impairments
• VEMP: Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential: saccule function
• SVV: Subjective Visual Vertical: abnormal if > 2 degrees (utricle)
Use dual task measures, both cognitive and motor, to assess to what degree the CNS is compensating for lost vestibular function.
