Course Description:

This course is intended for clinicians (PT, PTA, and Student PT's) who would like to advance their skills in examination and treatment of patients needing vestibular rehabilitation. The course will include how to differentiate between central and peripheral deficits, perform differential diagnosis and evidenced based treatment options for BPPV, vestibular hypofunction, habituation for certain central disorders. The course will also include the most recent evidence available in vestibular rehabilitation for discussion on how to treat conditions such as vestibular migraine, Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD), Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS), concussion, and cervicogenic dizziness. There will be both lecture and lab time to allow participants to practice learned techniques, discuss and integrate the material with real patient cases, see vestibular infrared goggles as an assessment and treatment tool, and gain confidence and comfort with treating patients with vestibular deficits.

1) Participants will have the additional benefit of permanent access to the video recordings of the course upon completion for further review and learning.
2) Additional individual and group web based options for vestibular mentoring and consultation are available after this course as well!
