Description
Pietro Canzi and ten co-authors test a 3D printed model for teaching vertigo maneuvers in this 2024 paper. The condition, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, is treated by moving the head through set sequences that reseat loose crystals in the inner ear. The team printed the human labyrinth at one and a half times size, plus a skull at full size, from a CT scan. Sixty trainees took part: emergency and ear nose throat residents, practitioners, and medical students from two centers.
Each trainee ran the Epley and Semont maneuvers twice, before and after studying the crystal mechanics on the model. All groups improved on the second try. Students gained significantly on both maneuvers, and emergency residents on one. Self rated understanding of the condition's mechanics rose in every group. The authors call the model a feasible teaching aid for front line care.
