Introduction Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common and treatable causes of peripheral vestibular vertigo in adults. Its incidence increases with age, eventually leading to disability and a decreased quality of life. Objective The research aims to assess short-term effects of Otolith Repositioning Maneuver (ORM) on dizziness symptoms, quality of life, and postural balance in elderly people with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Methods A quasi-experimental study, which evaluated 14 elderly people that underwent the Otolith Repositioning Maneuver and reevaluation after one week. The authors performed statistical analysis by descriptive analysis of central tendency and dispersion; for pre- and post-treatment conditions, the authors used the Wilcoxon test. Results All aspects of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (physical, functional, emotional, and total scores) as well as the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) decreased after therapy (p < 0.05 and p = 0.001, respectively). However, more than half of the elderly participants did not achieve negative Dix-Hallpike. Regarding static and dynamic balance, there were significant differences in some parameters of the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance, Limits of Stability and gait assessment measured by the Dizziness Gait Index (p < 0.05). Conclusion Results reveal clinical and functional benefits in elderly people with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo submitted to Otolith Repositioning Maneuver. However, most of the participants did not overcome Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo and not all aspects of postural balance improved. Therefore, a longer follow-up period and a multidisciplinary team are required to establish comprehensive care for elderly patients with dizziness complaints.

“…28,29 Cakir et al 17 added further controversy, because they concluded that postural restrictions and use of a cervical collar improved the effect of the CRM and that they should be recommended in the management of PSC BPPV. On the other hand, Casqueiro et al, 19 in 2008, and Fyrmpas et al, 30 in 2009, studying a total number of 463 patients, excluded postural restrictions from the management of BPPV.…”

“…The results generated can serve as an important health indicator for elderly people and their caregivers. In addition, the system can offer recommendations on preferred sleep posture according to each elderly user's health condition [30]. For example, physicians generally suggest patients with coronary heart disease adopt a right-lateral sleep posture, and SPRS can alert the users whenever their sleep pattern is considered improper.…”

The quality of sleep may be a reflection of an elderly individual's health state and sleep pattern is an important measurement. Recognition of sleep pattern by itself is a challenge issue, especially for elderly-care community, due to both privacy concerns and technical limitations. We propose a novel multi-parametric sensing system called sleep pattern recognition system (SPRS). This system, equipped with a combination of various non-invasive sensors, can monitor an elderly user's sleep behavior. It accumulates the detecting data from a pressure sensor matrix and ultra wide band (UWB) tags. Based on these two types of complementary sensing data, SPRS can assess the user's sleep pattern automatically via machine learning algorithms. Compared to existing systems, SPRS operates without disrupting the users' sleep. It can be used in normal households with minimal deployment. Results of tests in our real assistive apartment at the Smart Elder-care Lab are also presented in this paper.
