Vestibular

Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) has changed over the last decades from a purely PT-based (PT=physical therapy) concept to a multifactorial, multiprofessional therapy which includes PT (as basis), augmented reality, tech-based training programs, as well as supplementary drug therapy. This book presents an academic, state-of-the-art overview that helps the therapists to perform those programs which will help to council and prepare the patients. It is of interest for physicians, scientists and therapists from different areas like neurologists, rehabilitation scientists, otolaryngologists, geriatricians, neuroorthopedics and others (such as PT).

This video guide increases the surgeon's understanding of all types of surgical approaches for vestibular schwannoma surgery: retrosigmoid, translabyrinthine, middle cranial fossa and combined approaches. 2D and 3D videos are included to increase the readers' understanding of these complex surgical techniques. These are accompanied by step-by-step narrated cadaveric dissection videos showing the crucial steps of each approach. This book is a learning tool and video reference for those training to perform the procedure and enhances the readers understanding of neuroanatomy. A detailed review of all surgical options and their risks, along with tips, tenets and pitfalls is included. The authors provide an unbiased discussion of all options with balanced comparison between surgical approaches and algorithms for patient selection.
