Description
Kaewsiri Isaradisaikul, Namung, and Chowsilpa design a low-cost aid for a bedside test that spots the most common cause of spinning dizziness. The test rolls a patient through set head positions to trigger eye flickers. In primary care it is often skipped, since many doctors lack training or confidence in the positions.
Their aid is a bedsheet printed with color bars that mark where the head and body should lie. Sixty healthy adults and twelve examiners took part. Each examiner ran the test with and without the sheet. The team compared how often positions were right and how both sides rated the tool. A cheap sheet could spread a proven test to small clinics. That would cut referrals for a condition often fixed in minutes.
