Ever seen a stubborn case of apogeotropic horizontal cupulo or canal jam BPPV? When other maneuvers don’t work, you could try the square wave maneuver. (Good idea to premedicate with Zofran if nausea likely). 1. Start supine position wearing Frenzel goggles, head held 20°–30° cervical flexion 2. Turn head and body 90° en bloc to side lying (on affected side first if known) 3. Once the nystagmus reaches maximum intensity, roll 180° en bloc to the other side as fast as possible safely 4. After the nystagmus reverses and built up to a maximum intensity, roll briskly 180° en bloc to the contralateral side. 5. Repeat up to ten times (as needed/tolerated) (Yacovino et al., 2021) Thanks to Drs. Whitney and Heick for the demo of this maneuver. #bppv #vestibularrehabilitation #ent #audiology #neurology #vertigotreatment
