Abstract
Dizziness and imbalance are common and challenging chief complaints carrying high morbidity, due to their association with falls, injuries, and loss of quality of life. The physical examination represents an opportunity to collect objective clinical data that facilitate an understanding of symptoms that might otherwise be enigmatic and ineffable. This review focuses on the examination techniques used routinely by physicians who provide specialized care for patients with dizziness and imbalance.
