Practical application of VRT to a variety of practice settings (outpatient, acute care, SNF, ER) will be discussed. An emphasis will be placed on the management of BPPV variants and vestibular hypofunction.
Course Objectives:
Perform a detailed bedside vestibular and balance examination Based on patient history and bedside examination, identify the specific features of:
•Identify appropriate standardized assessment tools for use in vestibular rehabilitation
•Prescribe rehabilitation programs to address adaptation and compensation for vestibular dysfunction
•Identify specific variants of BPPV and perform appropriate canalith repositioning maneuvers
