The Epley Maneuver
5 step procedure where the patient: 1. Sits upright in a neutral position 2. Rotate 45° towards the affected side around the yaw axis and then ro-tate 135° backward around the pitch axis 3. Rotated 90° towards the unaffected side around the yaw axis 4. Rotate a further 90° toward the unaffected side around the yaw axis 5. Rotates back to an upright position with a 135° backward rotation around the pitch axis.
The 360 Degree Maneuver
5 step procedure where the patient: 1. Sits upright in a neutral position 2. Rotate 45° towards the affected side around the yaw axis and then ro-tate 135° backward around the pitch axis 3. Rotate a further 90° backward around the pitch axis (total 225°) 4. Rotate a further 90° backward around the pitch axis (total 315°) 5. Rotate back to an upright position with an additional 45° backward rota-tion around the pitch axis (total 360°).
