The book is good, but the DVD seems not compatible with my PC or Mac

The book came in fair condition and the corners were dented due to shipping and handling. The DVD seemed fine at work, but when I brought it home to download into my PC and Mac, I could only hear the sound but was unable to watch the video.
The book content was good, though.

A must for any PT treating vestibular patients

This book presents in an orderly fashion the anatomy of the vestibular system, diagnosis and goes into detail regarding diagnostics and how to structure a vestibular evaluation. The CD is great addition as it reviews tests and procedures with video and audio. I use it as a valuable reference in the clinic frequently.

Good reference but not so good as a textbook

Each chapter is written well - clearly and concisely. However, as a textbook, chapters do not connect well with each other, and there is significant overlap. For example, Chapter 2 is Vestibular Adaptation, and Chapter 5 is on Vestibular Compensation. (and Chapters 3 & 4 deal with postural control and vestibular system). Then, in Chapter 20, the authors discusses yet another set of vestibular recovery mechanisms. This requires a lot of work on the part of the reader to tease out overlapping concepts from additional, new concepts, making sure that the two sets of statements about a particular concept (e.g., adaptation) agree with each other. Also problematic is the fact that many terminologies and abbreviations are not used consistently across chapters. It's a good book as a reference but very difficult to use as a textbook.

Comprehensive and Practical informaton for Rehabilitation!

I find this book to be an excellent resource for professionals such as audiologists and physical therapists working with the balance disordered patient. With a comprehensive treatment of practically all areas of balance even beyond rehabilitation, the material in the book is extremely useful. It's the next best thing to sitting in a class taught by Dr. Susan Herdman. Her excellence in Vestibular Rehabilitation is clearly evident in this well written "manual". The included accompanying DVD with various videos of rehabilitation prosedures and exercises is an extremely useful supplement to the book. A must for anyone working with vestibular rehabilitation!

Recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, Susan Herdman delivers the most current information available about the management of patients with vestibular disorders in her updated 3rd edition text. With an increased emphasis on evidence-based practice, PT students and practitioners will more clearly understand the scientific basis for successful treatment and readily relate the rationales to clinical practice.
