Virtual Reality Epley Maneuver System - VREMS
Instructional Handout (IH)
Patients in the VREMS cohort will be provided with the VREMS device, which will help guide them through the Epley maneuver in a virtual reality environment. All participants will be asked to rate the severity of their symptoms before undergoing the Epley maneuver. Subsequently, patients will be supervised as they perform the Epley maneuver - VREMS assisted. In both groups, once the patient has performed the Epley maneuver (whether with VREMS assistance or with the IH), they will be asked to rate their symptom severity after undergoing the Epley maneuver
Those in the control cohort will be provided an instructional handout (IH) to help them perform the Epley maneuver. They will be given a chance to review the IH, and then they will have a chance to perform the Epley maneuver.
