Excellent reference for Physical Therapists by Caren (Summerville, GA United States)  5 Stars
September 21, 2009
"Vestibular Rehabilitation; third edition" is the required reading material prior to taking "Vestibular rehab- a competency based course" (A week long certification course). I had attended a couple of two day Balance courses prior to purchasing this book. I found it to be an excellent review of testing and treatment proceedures with the detailed diagrams and the accompanying CD ROM. It also sites evidenced based practice supporting BPPV treatment and several case studies, plus tables, graphs, charts and diagrams on almost every page. The Diagnostic Flowchart was particularly helpful. The information went well beyond anything I had learned in the short courses I had attended.
The book is sectioned into four parts; Section 1- Fundamentals. Section 2- Medical Assessment and Vestibular Function Tests. Section 3-Medical and Surgical Management. And Section 4- Rehabilitation Assessment and Management. Each section almost reads as a separate book. I read section four before section one without any difficulty in following the material.
***An important note about the CD ROM- the video portion does not run on current Windows applications. However, all you have to do is install the program, right click the icon, select 'Properties', 'Compatability', 'Compatability Mode', 'Windows 95', 'Apply'.

Comprehensive and Practical informaton for Rehabilitation! by Ram S. Nileshwar (Lake Charles, LA USA)  4 Stars
March 03, 2009
I find this book to be an excellent resource for professionals such as audiologists and physical therapists working with the balance disordered patient. With a comprehensive treatment of practically all areas of balance even beyond rehabilitation, the material in the book is extremely useful. It's the next best thing to sitting in a class taught by Dr. Susan Herdman. Her excellence in Vestibular Rehabilitation is clearly evident in this well written "manual". The included accompanying DVD with various videos of rehabilitation prosedures and exercises is an extremely useful supplement to the book. A must for anyone working with vestibular rehabilitation!

Good reference but not so good as a textbook by An Audiologist (Washington, DC)  3 Stars
February 23, 2009
Each chapter is written well - clearly and concisely. However, as a textbook, chapters do not connect well with each other, and there is significant overlap. For example, Chapter 2 is Vestibular Adaptation, and Chapter 5 is on Vestibular Compensation. (and Chapters 3 & 4 deal with postural control and vestibular system). Then, in Chapter 20, the authors discusses yet another set of vestibular recovery mechanisms. This requires a lot of work on the part of the reader to tease out overlapping concepts from additional, new concepts, making sure that the two sets of statements about a particular concept (e.g., adaptation) agree with each other. Also problematic is the fact that many terminologies and abbreviations are not used consistently across chapters. It's a good book as a reference but very difficult to use as a textbook.

The book is good, but the DVD seems not compatible with my PC or Mac by PT WONG (NY, USA) 4 Stars
August 31, 2007
The book came in fair condition and the corners were dented due to shipping and handling. The DVD seemed fine at work, but when I brought it home to download into my PC and Mac, I could only hear the sound but was unable to watch the video.
The book content was good, though.
