Abstract : A Study on the Effectiveness of Epley’s Canalith Repositioning Maneuver On Dzziness and Activities of Daily Living Among Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (Bppv) Patients.  Objective: Research to ascertain the effectiveness of Epley’s Canalith Repositioning Maneuver on dizziness and activities of daily living in BPPV patients.  Design: Pre and post-test experimental study design is adopted.  Setting: The site of the study was R.V.S College of Physiotherapy, Sulur, Coimbatore. 10 BPPV patients aged 50 to 60 years with dizziness and difficulty in activities of daily living were selected. Epley’s Canalith Repositioning Maneuver was given to treat them, thrice in a week for 4 weeks.  Results: When comparing the mean values of pre and post-test values, more changes in dizziness and activities of daily living were observed in the patents treated with Epley’s Canalith Repositioning Maneuver.  Conclusios: The Epley’s Canalith Repositioning Maneuver Is Found to be More Effective in Lowering Dizziness and Enhancing Activities of Daily Living for Patients with BPPV.

Keywords : Benign Proxysmal Positional Vertigo, Epley’s Canalith Repositioning Maneuver, Dizziness, Activities of Daily Living.
