Fluid-Filled Vestibular Apparatus for Vertigo Education

thingiverse

Learn how positional vertigo works by watching crystals (also known as "otoconia" or "otolith") fall and move through the semicircular canals of your inner ear anatomy with this educational model. We created this anatomical model to promote understanding of fluid dynamics, as well as how our inner ear crystals respond to gravity when displaced in the canals. This model demonstrates BPPV repositioning techniques such as the Epley method. It is perfect for use with patients, students, and clinical mentorship and training. This model represents the right ear; however, you can easily create left ear models by mirroring on the X or Y axis.
