From Disabled World Brandt-Daroff Exercises for Vertigo and Balance Disorders By Disabled World Brandt-Daroff exercise Video The Brandt-Daroff exercise is one of several exercises intended to speed up the compensation process and end the symptoms of vertigo. Brandt-Daroff exercises are generally used to treat BPPV, and sometimes to treat labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis, at home and are performed in three sets per day for two weeks. In each set, one performs the maneuver five times. The Brandt-Daroff exercise relieves symptoms of vertigo within 3 to 14 days for almost all people. In a small number of cases, vertigo returns and has to be treated again. Performing Brandt-Daroff exercises can cause vertigo, nausea, and vomiting, which may discourage people from continuing the exercise, particularly when the vertigo experienced is severe. See the video instructions for performing Brandt-Daroff exercises at home. NOTE: Do not start doing the Brandt-Daroff exercises for at least 2 days after the Epley or Semont maneuver, unless specifically instructed otherwise by your health care provider. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disabled World (www.disabled-world.com) provides a large range of worldwide health and disability information.
