The Practical Management of the Balance Disorder Patient 4 Stars
April 24, 2000
As a first year graduate student in Audiology, this book, at first glance seemed like an impossible read. The writing is extremely dry and medically based. After finally getting through the first chapter, the rest seemed to be significantly easier. All in all, it has been an extremely informative book and will be an important addition to my permanant reference collection. For anyone interested in the testing and diagnosing of balance disorders, this is an essential read.

A must-have reference by Thomas E. Boismier, MPH (Fort Wayne IN)  5 Stars
March 29, 2000
An excellent resource for any medical professional involved in caring for patients with vertigo or unsteadiness. The approach is clear and concise, with many sample cases. This is the only text I've seen which provides a logical, stepwise and complete approach to the difficult task of diagnosis and treatment for this group of patients. The included normative data wil be very helpful for those just starting to build a balance assessment testing program.
