Balance Function Assessment and Management Summary

Balance Function Assessment and Management by Gary P. Jacobson

This book comprehensively covers the assessment and treatment of balance system impairments. Designed to be used in graduate programs in audiology, and by practicing audiologists, it is also appropriate for those in the fields of physical therapy, otolaryngology, and neurology. Assessment chapters address ocular motility testing, positional/positioning testing, caloric testing, rotational testing, computerized dynamic posturography, and vestibular evoked potentials. Treatment chapters cover non-medical, medical, and surgical treatment of dizziness and vertigo, vestibular rehabilitation and assessment of and intervention for falls risk. Additionally, the book provides background information on the vestibular and ocular motor systems, sample cases, and a final chapter, "Putting It All Together."

Balance Function Assessment and Management Reviews

Linda Jacobs-Condit, AuD, CCC-A (George Washington University), Doody's Review Service, (2009): "Up to date and useful as a reference for students as well as practicing clinicians in audiology, otology, physical therapy, neurology." John E. King (Medical University of South Carolina), Ear & Hearing, (2008): "Despite the number of contributors, the text flows seamlessly as uniformity has been maintained in presentation style and language. ... A must-have for those who truly want to explore and understand the clinical realm of the vestibular system. ... This text offers something for everyone from the novice to the expert nearing retirement." A. Banerjee (Middlesbrough, UK), The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, (2009): "The DVD that accompanies each chapter is excellent and explains the practical points covered...All in all, this is an excellent book, to be used as a reference for ENT surgeons, trainees, and audiological physicians."
