Book Review: Rapid Interpretation of Balance Function Tests, First Edition

Rapid Interpretation of Balance Function Tests provides a review of vestibular physiology and pathology followed by an overview of diagnostic vestibular testing before diving into the specifics of individual tests. Illustrations, flow diagrams, summary tables, and sample test results are provided throughout, thereby strengthening important concepts and allowing one to not only understand but also interpret balance function tests. An accompanying DVD also demonstrates the eye movements associated with those tests. The book provides an overview of balance function tests but does not provide any clinical vignettes, making it difficult for an otolaryngologist in training to understand which balance function tests are most relevant when assessing individual patients. In that sense, this book is more geared toward otolaryngologists in practice and other health care professionals who wish to gain more insight into the interpretation of balance function tests. 836746 AORXXX10.1177/0003489419836746Annals of Otology, Rhinology & LaryngologyBook Review book-review2019
