Post-Traumatic Dizziness: Clinical and Medicolegal Aspects
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Subjective complaints of dizziness after mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury are common. Alterations in the mode of injury have changed the presentation symptoms. Evolutions in neuroimaging challenge conventional concepts regarding lack of evidence of injury following mild head trauma and provide hope for elucidating the site of lesion in patients with post-traumatic balance symptoms. Yet the vestibular clinician must maintain a healthy level of suspicion regarding potential exaggeration of symptoms and disability in patients with a financial incentive. Unique conditions warrant particular attention by the vestibular clinician, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy, catastrophization, and persistent postural and perceptual dizziness. The clinical significance of abnormalities, particularly on vestibular-evoked myogenic potential testing, needs to be better defined prior to their widespread application in the medical legal arena. The role of the medical expert is to provide opinion on matters requiring special knowledge to assist the court in reaching its findings. As such, this chapter provides an update on recent advances to consider in patients with dizziness after trauma.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
