# 223 BrochureCourse Summary:This course will lay the groundwork regarding the anatomy and neurophysiology of the inner ear, the central nervous system, the vision and the musculoskeletal system and how they all interact to create normal balance and function. It will be demonstrated how a multitude of diagnoses can affect one or more of these systems to cause symptoms of dizziness and/or imbalance. Vestibular as well as non-vestibular diagnoses will be addressed. The course participant will then learn how to do an efficient and informative vestibular and balance evaluation and will be able to create an effective treatment plan based on the most recent evidenced-based research and clinical outcomes. The course will teach the participant diagnosis-appropriate treatments for all types of balance and dizziness disorders, and show the clinician how to decide if other referrals are needed.
At the conclusion of the course the participant will be able to: Identify the anatomical structures and neurophysiological systems involved in balance/dizziness disordersList the symptoms and describe the clinical presentation of a variety of balance and dizziness diagnosesPerform an efficient and informative vestibular and balance evaluation Create an effective, diagnosis-appropriate treatment planPerform the Epley’s Maneuver and other treatments for BPPVInteract with other healthcare providers to refer the appropriate patients for further work-upProvide patients with outside resources to help them learn more about their disorderDevelop a “balance-center” approach, tailored to the clinician’s own work setting, identifying key participants
