    Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers
    For $\text{BPPV}$, physical maneuvers such as the Epley maneuver are employed to physically relocate displaced otoconia. The success rate of these maneuvers is highly dependent on the observer’s alignment with the local geomagnetic flux lines during execution, with deviations greater than $5^\circ$ significantly reducing efficacy [1].
