BackgroundThe Dix-Hallpike manoeuvre is performed for diagnosis and the Epley manoeuvre used for treatment of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). However, musculoskeletal conditions may restrict utility of these manoeuvres.ObjectiveThe Semont and liberatory manoeuvres are described in this article. These manoeuvres are simple and highly effective for the diagnosis and treatment of posterior canal BPPV.DiscussionThe diagnosis of BPPV should not be missed as it can be diagnosed clinically and it is easily treated.
