PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS PREPARING
FOR THE COMPETENCY- BASED VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION COURSE
Course Description
The literature supports that 80% of the population, ages 65 and older have experienced BPPV, the most common causes of vertigo. Additionally, it is estimated in the United States that 35% of adults, 40 years or older have experienced some sort of vestibular dysfunction. In order to treat this specialized population, clinicians need to be aware of the best available evidence, including assessment tools and treatment techniques. This course, taught by leading experts in the field, will focus on both the evidence-based information needed to care for the patient with dizziness as well as the practical skills to treat it.
Day 1 of this live webinar will provide an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system and discuss common central and peripheral disorders. It will also focus on evidence-based examination and rehabilitation of the patient with dizziness, as well as medical and surgical management.
Day 2 of this course is a live in-person workshop that will focus on evaluation and treatment techniques including: gaze stability testing, BPPV testing and treatment, oculomotor screening, and exercise prescription. Participants will have the opportunity to practice these skills, and receive feedback from the instructors.
Course Format
Disclaimer You must attend day one in order to attend day two | Day two is a live in-person workshop limited to the first 40 registrants.

- Identify signs and symptoms of a central vs. peripheral vestibular disorder
- Recognize posterior canal BBPV and its various treatment options
- Incorporate evidence-based practice into the evaluation and treatment of vestibular pathologies

- Identify and screen for common visual complaints in patients with vestibular disorders
- Determine the results of posterior canal BPPV testing and execute appropriate treatment repositioning maneuvers
- Perform components of an oculomotor screen for the patient with vestibular symptoms
