Dizziness

[Rachael A. Walton]

Hello.

I am a second year Physical Therapy graduate student in the lovely 
foothills of the North Georgia mountains.  I am currently working on 
my thesis project which involves dizziness. 

I am attempting to correlate a subjective measure of dizziness with 
the amount of balance and/or mobility dysfunction in persons 
reporting symptoms of dizziness. I have found the Dizziness Handicap 
Inventory developed by Jacobson and Newman in 1990; however, this 
assessment tool was designed to be used for persons suffering from 
vestibular disorders. I do not want to limit my study to vestibular 
disorders. 

Does any one know of a valid assessment tool for quantifing patient 
reported dizziness? Any help would be greatly appreciated and can be 
sent to me at RWALTON at .bernie.ngc.peachnet.edu.  

Thanks for your time.
