Head apparatus and assistant device for the treatment of BPPV

An apparatus for treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in a person, comprising:

• a support adapted to be coupled to a person's head;
• an assistant member having a transparent wall defining an interior cavity coupled to said support;
• a liquid located in said cavity sufficient to define a bubble in said cavity which can be moved to different positions as said assistant member is rotated;
• a path formed on said wall
• a support for coupling said member to a person's head such that said bubble may be seen by an assistant, and said assistant member may be moved by the person as the person moves the person's head to different spatial positions to cause said bubble to be moved along said path and to be seen by an assistant.

An apparatus for use for treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in a person, comprising:

• spatial position sensitive means sensitive to different spatial positions for displaying information sufficient to allow the person to follow a path with the persons head when said spatial position sensitive means is coupled to the person's head;
• support means for coupling said spatial position sensitive means to the person's head to allow the person to move the person's head and hence said spatial position sensitive means to see the information displayed to allow the person to progressively move said spatial position sensitive means and hence the person's head to positions to follow said path;
• said support means comprising structure adapted to be coupled to a person's head with an eye opening to be located in front of a person's eye and with spatial position sensitive means located to the side of said eye opening away from the other eye of the person;
• a lens and a mirror located between spatial position sensitive means and said eye opening such that an optical path is provided between said opening and said spatial position sensitive means by way of said lens and said mirror.
