This course provides an in-depth exploration of the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system, the essential sensory system responsible for balance, spatial orientation, and coordination. Designed for healthcare professionals in audiology, neurology, physical therapy, and related fields, this course builds the foundation for further learning and exploration of the vestibular system. Key topics include vestibular receptors, neural processing, reflex mechanisms such as the vestibulo-ocular and vestibulospinal reflexes, and their roles in posture and equilibrium.
This course provides a comprehensive overview of Atypical Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), focusing on the identification, differential diagnosis, and treatment of BPPV variants that deviate from the classic posterior canal presentation. Participants will explore the pathophysiology of atypical forms including horizontal canal, short arm posterior canal, and multi-canal involvement, as well as mimics of BPPV.
A foundational overview of BPPV, covering its causes, symptoms, assessment, and treatment. Dix-Hallpike and Roll tests are discussed, as well as evidence-based treatments such as the Epley and Semont maneuvers. Emphasis is placed on recognizing nystagmus, ensuring safety, and effective patient care.
This course offers a comprehensive exploration of the complex world of vestibular pathology. Designed for healthcare professionals in audiology, neurology, physical therapy, and related fields, this course equips participants with […]
Learn to observe and define various eye movements that may be seen during the examination of patients with complaints of dizziness and imbalance. This course is perfect for beginner and intermediate vestibular clinicians–or those just interested in learning how your inner ear helps the body maintain balance and gaze stability during movements.
This course provides evidence-based training in vestibular rehabilitation, covering neuroplasticity, adaptation, habituation, and substitution techniques to manage dizziness and imbalance. It builds on foundational vestibular knowledge and prepares clinicians to confidently tailor treatment programs across diverse patient diagnoses.
This second course in the Vestibular Rehabilitation series focuses on recognizing and understanding eye movements and nystagmus. Using videos, graphics, and quizzes, participants will learn to identify and interpret key patterns in clinical practice.
A structured assessment used to evaluate dizziness, imbalance, and related symptoms through bedside tests of eye movements, balance, and positional responses. It helps clinicians differentiate between peripheral and central vestibular disorders and guides diagnosis and treatment planning. Ideal for all specialties.
Vestibular migraine is a common cause of episodic vertigo, sharing symptoms with Meniere’s Disease, such as severe vertigo, nausea, and imbalance. These conditions may mimic or coexist with other vestibular disorders like BPPV, TIA, and PPPD. Effective care involves patient education, trigger identification, symptom management, and reducing impairments. This course covers the complexities of diagnosing and treating vestibular migraine and Meniere’s Disease, including diagnostic criteria, differential diagnoses, key exams, and management techniques. It also highlights a multidisciplinary treatment approach, referral patterns, and case discussions based on the latest research.
