Title The Gans Maneuver for Right Posterior Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
Creator Allison Nogi, DPT
Affiliation (AN) Vestibular Clinical Specialist, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland
Subject Positional Vertigo; Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo; Dizzy; Nystagmus
Description This maneuver is recommended for individuals with cervical restrictions or precautions, as the maneuver avoids cervical hyperextension and may reduce cervical pain associated with repositioning maneuvers. The Epley maneuver has higher subjective and objective success rates compared to the Gans maneuver at day one; however, the recovery rates were similar and were not significantly different after a one-week follow-up.
