the links to videos provided are short and extremely topical. they show the Epley Maneuver from two different angles. Not every wikipedia reader will fully understand the step-by-step description in the wiki entry without a demonstration - especially visual learners. the edit was undone by XLinkBot and upon researching the matter using the links provided, the edit was done again as there is no outright prohibition against youtube links. 173.79.152.228 (talk) 13:59, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

OK .. despite my attempt and upon reverting XLinkBot (per instruction, I might add!), I get a nastygram from a Huggle Bot. Nothing in the nastygram to indicate how a reasonable person might take the matter forward constructively - instead it's a pre-emptive value judgement ("unconstrutive edits"). foo! I don't think the autogenerated response quite entirely conforms to the Wikipedia Policy on Behavior. 173.79.152.228 (talk) 14:20, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps a simple series of images with a practitioner viewed from the head down while lying on the floor could be used instead? If I am reading the article right, it would go something like: image 1 has the head turned 45° to the right, image 2 45° to the left, image 3 135° to the left with torso turned 90° to the left. 130.243.154.178 (talk) 20:02, 24 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Confusing

edit

"Turn your head 90 degree to the other side... Roll your body onto your side in the direction you are facing, now you are pointing your head nose down".

As I read this, the former means turn your head 90 degrees towards the other side, i.e. leaving it still 45 degrees away from the vertical but on the other side to what it was. But the latter can only leave your head nose down if it was turned 135 degrees towards the other side, i.e. horizontally (90 degrees away from the vertical) on the other side. So just what is meant here, and how could the language be made clearer? P.M.Lawrence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.194.55.223 (talk) 14:32, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Simple Visual Clarification

edit

have a look at "Epley's maneuver" with narration - (0:45 Flash video). One of two videos I attempted to add to this page. It should make it perfectly clear. I am done with this now. Putting up with rude Bots is not my cup of tea. 173.79.152.228 (talk) 02:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the video, that clarified it right up. Too bad Wikipeida is full of so many bots that make it almost useless. I, too, have had edits reverted by bots, and upon contacting the people responsible told to screw off. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.29.111.142 (talk) 19:35, 1 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Personal Views?

edit

Since this a reference, personal opinions or comments in the first person should not be present in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.171.150.102 (talk) 14:45, 22 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

DizzyFIX

edit

I added a link to the article on DizzyFIX. It is a researched device useful for patients (or doctors) who may not do well with the Epley Maneuver. It is therefore relevant to this article. (Note: this could use confirmation from someone with an appropriate medical background.) David Spector (talk) 19:09, 8 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Instructions

edit

I don't think the notification to remove the instructions is necessary. I don't think anyone could perform it based on the instructions given. Rather it just provides a description of the procedure.FourLights (talk) 13:16, 2 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
