Course Objectives
Participants will:
- describe novel positional maneuvers that can reveal positional nystagmus in atypical BPPV
- describe the controversy of residual dizziness commonly associate with BPPV
- demonstrate an understanding of the prevalence of chronic dizziness and its frequently interrelated and comorbid causes and sustaining factors.
- outline essential elements of the physical therapy assessment for chronic dizziness, distinguishing between triggering factors and those that perpetuate the conditions.
- be able to identify the key clinical features that distinguish PPPD, Vestibular Migraine, and Dysautonomia.
- be able to articulate and enumerate vital components of collaborative treatment approaches for chronic dizziness.
- be exposed to multiple systematic reviews, meta-analyses and clinical practice guidelines that suggest that vestibular rehabilitation is advantageous for persons with vestibular symptoms after mild brain injury (concussion)
- be exposed to recent evidence that suggests that early movement is superior to prolonged rest based on prospective and randomized trials.
