Intervention  1.Particle repositioning maneuvers  1. Particle repositioning maneuvers like Epleys, Liberatory, or barbeque roll as per the direction and canal involvement in the Dix hall pike test and the supine Roll test. This would be performed on the first day of treatment and thereafter after 48 hours if required. 
Comparator Agent  1.Postural stability exercises.  Postural stabililty exercises in form of progressively challenging Base of support, external support, visual inputs and somatosensory inputs in standing, walking and sitting position. This exercises would be performed for 20 minutes twice daily for 3 weeks

Brief Summary  
                    Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a mechanical problem of peripheral vestibular system resulting from otoconia being displaced into the semicircular canals or otoconia being adhered to the cupulla ampullaris.
                     It represents the most common etiology of vertigo and 1% of all patient visits to a physician. It comprises 18.75% of total patients coming to outdoor department with complaint of vertigo due to various reasons in Gujarat.
                    Characterized by brief episodes of vertigo, with perception of either the environment or one’s self spinning when the head is moved in certain position.
                    Patients report that vertigo is triggered by lying down, rolling over in bed, getting out of the bed, bending down or looking upward.
                    It is the most common cause of recurrent and episodic vertigo from peripheral vestibular disorder
                    Other associated complaints include problems in balance that may last for hours or days after the episode of vertigo has stopped and more vague sensation of lightheadedness or feeling of floating
                Spontaneous remission of this condition is common. For those whom episodic vertigo persists, this disorder can be annoying, disruptive and often results in significant changes in normal activities.
                There are good evidences of the particle repositioning maneuvers being very effective in resolving the symptoms of BPPV. Epley’s maneuver for canaliathiasis and Semont’s or Liberatory maneuver for cupulolithiasis are effective in diminishing vertigo and Brandt-Daroff exercises as habituation exercise for less symptomatic patients.
                After BPPV has been successfully treated and spinning symptoms resolved, some patients will continue to report non-specific dizziness (symptoms other than spinning) and/or imbalance.
           BPPV represented the most prevalent diagnosis on the population studied (43.8%) as most common reason of falls.
           Most of the studies have examined the effectiveness of one or more maneuver or compared the various maneuver along with the rates of emission as an outcome measures.
          There seems to be insufficient scientific evidence on effect postural stability exercises or vestibular rehabilitation as a whole in cases of BPPV
            Hence the aims and objectives of this study are as follows: 
                   1.To assess balance in patients of BPPV.
                   2.To evaluate short term and long term effects of adding postural stability exercises to particle repositioning maneuver in patients of BPPV.
                    3.To assess the correlation between the outcome measures of the study i.e. m- CTSIB, m-DGI and DHI in patients of BPPV
