CA 2386835

A method and apparatus are disclosed for visually guiding a person's head into a position sequence necessary to allow abnormally positioned crystals to fall out of a posterior membranous semicircular canal to relieve the symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The apparatus includes a fluid suspended, buoyancy neutral inner member (305), which has printed upon it a sequentially numbered series of position bull's eyes, which are connected by a path printed on the inner member (305). The inner member (305) is contained within a transparent, watertight outer housing (302), which has a sighting marking (306) printed upon it. The device is attached to the user's head in a manner such that the outer housing sighting marking (306) and an aligned inner member (305) position bull's eyes can be seen by the user. The inner member (305) has a magnet (390) which keeps it aligned with a magnetic field with the outer housing (302) being movable about the inner member (305).

L'invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un appareil permettant de guider la tête d'une personne suivant une séquence de positionnement nécessaire pour permettre à des cristaux positionnés anormalement de tomber d'un canal semi-circulaire membraneux circulaire afin de soulager les symptômes du vertige positionnel paroxystique bénin. Ledit appareil comporte un élément interne (305), à flottabilité neutre et en suspension dans un fluide, sur lequel est imprimé une série à numérotation séquentielle de points de mire de positionnement, qui sont reliés par un chemin imprimé sur l'élément interne (305). Cet élément interne (305) est contenu dans un logement externe étanche à l'eau et transparent, sur lequel est imprimée une marque de visée (306). Ce dispositif est fixé sur la tête d'un utilisateur de sorte que la marque de visée (306) du logement externe et un point de mire de positionnement de l'élément interne (305) puissent être vus par l'utilisateur. L'élément interne (305) comporte un aimant (390) qui le maintient en alignement avec un champ magnétique, le logement externe (302) étant mobile autour de l'élément interne (305).
