For a person who has benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) involving the anterior canal (also called the superior canal) on the right side, the relevant treatment maneuvers include the Kim maneuver for the right side, the modified (reversed) Semont maneuver for the right side, and the reverse Epley maneuver for the right side.

For clinicians
