This three-day workshop presents a comprehensive diagnostic approach to the vestibular and balance disordered patient. A review of peripheral and central vestibular anatomy and physiology, as well as vestibular disorders, provides attendees with the appropriate background to better understand vestibular disorders and their clinical manifestations. A clear and concise clinical pathway model is used to triage the history, symptoms and clinical findings. Clinical assessment methods including: cervical vertigo, vertebral artery screenings, postural stability tests, dynamic visual acuity tests will support the electrophysiological and VNG/ENG findings. Emphasis is placed on proper test protocols, integration and interpretation of results, recommendations for vestibular rehabilitation following "Diagnosis Based Strategies" and report of findings for both vestibular and non-vestibular patients to referring physicians.
Learning Objectives:
- Apply vestibular anatomy and physiology to the diagnosis of vestibular disorders.
- Administer reliable and valid vestibular assessment tests. Accurately interpret and report results using clinical pathways.
- Utilize results for appropriate triage of patients for vestibular rehabilitation therapy or applicable management strategies.
