This diagnosis and management guide opens up a new frontier both for medical specialists and physical therapists dealing with vertigo sufferers. It presents a new original approach to diagnosis and rehabilitative treatment of vertigo and dizziness based on an innovative model of the vestibular system. It includes a detailed introduction to the MCS method, and a treatment program that involves mechanical, cybernetic, and synergetic aspects. Additionally, it provides a brief outline of the modern neurophysiological concepts behind the methodology
