PT 8720 - Examination and Treatment of Vestibular Disorders LC/LB

(2)

This elective course will provide the student with a comprehensive approach to the examination and treatment of individuals with vertigo and disequilibrium from vestibular causes.  The course will emphasize diagnostic procedures, PT assessment skills, and treatment skills to effectively manage individuals with vestibular deficits.  Concussion evaluation and management will be covered secondary to the role of the vestibular system dysfunction in post-concussive syndrome.  Neuropsychological testing as well as vestibular-visual interaction will be addressed because of the importance of a multi-modal approach to recovery.  The most recent evidence-based practice guidelines for treatment intervention will be presented and opportunities will be provided for assessment and treatment of individuals with vestibular deficits.
