Vertigo
Conditions
Brief summary
This analysis aims to evaluate the immediate effect that cervical sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGs) have on a group of individuals with induced vertigo by a caloric vestibular stimulation.
Interventions
PROCEDUREsustained natural apophyseal glides
It consists on a sustained apophyseal glides in a postero-anterior direction on C2 with a dose of three series of ten repetitions each
PROCEDURESHAM SNAG
Subjects on SNAG group received a simulation of the contact used for the SNAGs, without any vertebral glide, and with an active cervical extension
