[Work disability in peripheral vestibular disorders].
The circumstances prevalent in each particular line of work must be taken into consideration when examining for occupational disability. Peripheral vestibular disorders can be a source of danger to the patient himself and to those in his working environment, e.g. in traffic or on building sites. Some criteria for judgement on incapacity as related to the most important peripheral disorders are proposed. A further problem involves those cases with complaints of vertigo but whose responses to clinical testing appear normal. Such patients require a clear decision as to whether they are to be classified as occupationally disabled.
