Micki Harris Series: Central BPPV Mimics

2 Contact Hours awarded.
Discount to attend all 3 lectures in the series.

Description:
In this webinar we will quickly review typical management of individuals with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo so that we can discuss the differential diagnosis of potentially hazardous central causes of positional dizziness.

Objectives:
 Describe evaluation and treatment of typical posterior canal and horizontal canal BPPV
 Describe typical progression and management of individuals with posterior and horizontal canal BPPV
 Identify potential causes of central positional dizziness
 Differentiate symptoms of central causes of dizziness from BPPV
 Differentiate signs on a vestibular exam of central causes of dizziness from BPPV
 Demonstrate case examples of individuals with central causes of dizziness that mimic BPPV

Presented by:
Cory Hall PT, DPT, NCS

Dr Cory Hall is an Assistant Professor of Physical Therapy at Franklin Pierce University in Manchester, NH teaching curriculum related to Neuroanatomy, Motor Control, Kinesiology and Biomechanics. Dr Hall still treats patients as a physical therapist with aboard certification in neurologic physical therapy in his home of Portland, ME focusingon balance and walking disorders secondary to neurologic impairments in the outpatient setting. He received his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Virginia Commonwealth University as well as completing neurologic clinical specialist training while working in inpatient rehab with individuals with acquired brain injury and debility. Dr Hall is equallyexcited to talk to other about their areas of passion as he is to share his passion for
managing balance and walking disorders.
