This workshop is intended to enhance the clinician’s ability to assess, understand, diagnose and plan appropriate skilled intervention as it relates to Vestibular rehabilitation for a variety of common vestibular disorders. Instruction will focus on review and analysis of relevant topics including easy to understand- anatomy and physiology of vestibular system, assessment of vestibular disorders, and rehabilitation with appropriate treatment strategies including adaptation, substitution, habituation exercise, BPPV assessment and treatment. Using hands on lab for oculomotor assessment and positional test, emphasis will be on utilizing current evidence based research to guide objective assessments and use results to develop effective treatment plan. This workshop is applicable to both clinicians without vestibular experience while maintaining the interest and expanding the clinical skills of the more experienced vestibular rehabilitation clinician.
