A test used to diagnose benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) that consists of a series of head, neck, and body movements that reproduce the vertigo sensation. 3, record 1, English, - Dix%2DHallpike%20manoeuver
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The Dix-Hallpike test is typically performed in a doctor's office. The doctor will ask you to sit upright on an exam table with your legs stretched out in front of you and your head turned to one side. They will then ask you to lower your head and torso back so that you end up lying with your head stretched off the edge of the exam table, turned with one ear down at a 45-degree angle. If there are misplaced calcium deposits(also called canaliths) in the posterior canal of your inner ear, this will trigger vertigo symptoms. 4, record 1, English, - Dix%2DHallpike%20manoeuver

Benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo. The Dix-Hallpike maneuver is the gold standard test used to diagnose BPPV, which is crucial in confirming posterior canal BPPV. 5, record 1, English, - Dix%2DHallpike%20manoeuver

Exercise Advice : Place a barbell under your chin, resting it securely across the tops of your shoulders. Hold the barbell in place with your hands with elbows elevated so that [they] are parallel to the floor. Your feet should be just beyond shoulder width apart. Begin this exercise by squatting as though you are going to sit down in a chair. Squat to a point to where your thighs become parallel to the floor and then return to the start position. It is very important that you keep your back as straight as possible throughout this movement(one way to help do this is to focus your eyes on a spot high on the wall in front of you throughout the entire exercise). 1, record 2, English, - front%20barbell%20squat

Skate Tips : Catamaran. Talk about a blast from the past, catamaraning can be a lot of fun, and it's real easy to do. All you need is a partner. What you do is you sit on your board sideways facing your partner, while your partner does the same. Position the boards so that you can both put your feet comfortably on the ends of each other's boards. Once in position, you start down a fairly mellow hill. You turn by having the person on the turning side lean back, like he's on the trapeze of a catamaran. The person on the nonturning [side] leans in to help out with the turn. 1, record 9, English, - catamaran

I’m posting today to ask your opinion about whether David should participate in catamaran skateboarding. What is it, you ask? Well, let me explain. There are two skateboarders set parallel to each other a couple of feet apart. Each one is equipped with a toochas pad for comfort and two handles for steering. The riders sit on the boards with their bodies facing each other, their legs resting on the other person's deck, and both looking in the direction of travel. Turning is accomplished by one person leaning back and pulling on their handles, at the same time the other person leans forward and pushes on theirs. There are no brakes. 2, record 9, English, - catamaran

Still-fishing is the most common method of angling, because it is easy, requires only basic equipment and when done properly, is extremely effective. The usual strategy is to cast the bait into a likely spot, then sit back and wait. Most anglers use live baits or other types of bait that attract fish by smell. Although still-fishermen must rely on the fish coming to them, they can do several things to improve their chances. 2, record 15, English, - still%2Dfishing

La pêche au coup est la technique la plus utilisée par les pêcheurs car lorsque mise à profit adéquatement, elle est extrêmement efficace, tout en étant simple et nécessitant un équipement rudimentaire. La stratégie habituelle consiste à lancer un appât dans un site convoité, puis à s'asseoir et à attendre. La plupart des pêcheurs utilisent des appâts naturels ou vivants qui attirent les poissons par l'odeur et le goût. Par contre, même si les pêcheurs au coup doivent attendre que les poissons viennent à eux, ils peuvent tout de même utiliser plusieurs petits trucs pour augmenter leurs chances. 2, record 15, French, - p%C3%AAche%20au%20coup
