Course Description: This evidence-based course utilizes the latest advancements in knowledge and research to integrate a clinician's ability to appropriately diagnose and treat a client with vestibular dysfunction. The topics discussed will include anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system involving peripheral and central lesions and analysis of vestibular function tests including computerized dynamic posturography, caloric testing and rotary chair testing. The participant will learn principles that help distinguish between peripheral and central disorders utilizing differential diagnosis strategies through clinical examination and outcome measures. This course is designed for the clinician who has some experience in treating clients with vestibular deficits, in order to more critically analyze and problem solve an in-depth and thorough plan of care.

Learning Objectives/Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Explain and provide rationale for the use of vestibular function tests in management of a patient.
Examine the pathophysiology of select vestibular disorders, including but not limited to: vestibular migraine, anxiety related dizziness, complex and difficult forms BPPV, peripheral and central vestibular disorders, concussion.
Categorize the medical management of select vestibular disorders, including but not limited to: vestibular migraine, anxiety related dizziness, complex and difficult forms BPPV, peripheral and central vestibular disorders, concussion.
Interpret evaluation findings to develop the appropriate plan of care for patients with vestibular dysfunction.
Apply and perform advanced clinical skills in differential diagnosis and management to more effectively treat select vestibular disorders.
Simulate and perform advanced clinical skills in differential diagnosis and management to more effectively treat select vestibular disorders.
