Summary

The vestibular system in the inner year is an important system in the body which is responsible for balance. In addition, there is evidence that the vestibular system plays a role in maintaining blood pressure while changing body position, such as moving from lying down in bed to sitting. Dysfunction of the vestibular system may affect the ability to maintain blood pressure, therefore the aim of this study is to assess if a specific problem in the vestibular system (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo- BPPV) may cause changes in the interaction between the vestibular system and the cardiovascular system. We assume that patients with this medical condition (BPPV) will have different heart rate parameters in comparison with healthy patients.

Conditions

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
  • Vertigo
  • Autonomic Nervous System

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Heart rate variability parameters monitoring

No intervention- only additional monitoring of heart rate, physical tests and filling of questionnaires: Heart rate variability parameters monitoring- by wearing a Polar watch (RS800CX). Isometric grip test- by using a Jamar Hand Held Dynamometer. Questionnaires: 1. Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) - hebrew version. 2. Stait-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)
