Description
[edit | edit source]
The Zuma Maneuver was created in 2016 as an intervention for apogeotropic lateral canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (LC-BPPV). The maneuver involves a sequence of head positions to detach the otoconia from the anterior arm of the horizontal canal and/or the cupula. It utilizes both inertial and gravitational forces to dislodge and guide otoliths toward the utricle.
Steps of the Zuma Maneuver[edit | edit source]
- Initially, from a seated position the patient is instructed to swiftly lie down on the affected side and maintain this position for 3 minutes.
- The patient's head is turned 90° upwards and held in place for another 3 minutes.
- The patient transitions to a supine position, and the head is rotated 90° towards the unaffected side, also held for 3 minutes.
- Slightly tilt the head forward to prevent the particles from returning toward the rear arm of the canal
- Gradually return to the sitting position.
