TRV Chair
BPPV treatment made comfortable
The TRV Chair is a unique tool for the diagnosis and treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). With the TRV Chair, examiners can rotate their patients 360 degrees along the plane of each semicircular canal. It is also possible to lock the patient in any position for a detailed look at each semicircular canal.

Increase the success rate of your BPPV treatment
The rehabilitation of patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) commonly involves maneuvers such as the Epley and Semont maneuvers. By adding kinetic energy to these maneuvers, the TRV Chair can cure the dizzy patient.
Kinetic energy can conquer nystagmus
The TRV Chair's ability to transmit kinetic energy is a powerful tool in the canalith repositioning procedure. Kinetic energy will accelerate the movement of free-floating calcium-carbonate crystals, also known as otoconia. Dizziness or vertigo are often the symptoms of wrongly-located otoconia within the inner ear. Kinetic energy is thus often the only feasible treatment for patients with canalithiasis, who experience positioning-related nystagmus due to wrongly-located otoconia.
How does the TRV Chair transmit kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy is added by driving the main arm of the TRV Chair against a hydraulic stop. This produces a mild deceleration, which relocates even the smallest otoconia, thereby securing a successful treatment.
