Abstract
DIZZINESS IS the ninth most common reason adults visit a primary care physician, and it affects approximately 90 million Americans.1-4 Identification of the side, affected semicircular canals, and degree of unilateral vestibular deficiency (UVD) is an important goal in the examination of patients experiencing dizziness.Keywords
