The recurrence of BPPV is influenced by the dimension of the otolithic mass (Q). The likelihood of recurrence is greater as the mass increases in size, which however decreases over time based on mobilisation (spontaneous or induced by CRM). The higher k (the variable influencing the reabsorption time) the more the patient moves and the sooner the patient recovers.
