Vestibular Dysfunction - An Algorithmic-Based Evaluation and Treatment Approach (Jun 3, 2017)

Vestibular Dysfunction - An Algorithmic-Based Evaluation and Treatment Approach is organized by Health Click and would be held during Jun 03 - 04, 2017 at Huntington Hospital, Pasadena, California, United States of America.

This CME conference has been approved with 15 CME credits.

This two day intermediate course will provide the attending practitioner, intermediate level algorithmic problem solving skills needed to evaluate and treat dizziness and imbalance. his course will prepare the clinician to evaluate and treat with minimal equipment. However, current market availability of equipment and the correct utilization of advanced technology will be discussed.

Course Objectives
• Discuss the anatomical structures of the vestibular system.
•Identify how balance and movement information is processed.
•Describe the various dizziness and imbalance diagnoses and understand how they affect the vestibular system.
•Recognize the different mechanisms available for recovery (compensation, adaptation, substitution) and how they can be utilized to prescribe effective progressive plans for this population.
•Perform proficient evaluations of oculomotor, vestibular and balance function.
•Develop appropriate algorithmic plans of care by applying information gathered from detailed history, evaluations and tests.
•Recognize how to differentiate between migraine syndromes, migraine associated dizziness and if present with vestibular disorders, how to successfully manage their care.
