Take this course for up-to-date, evidence-based, effective and safe strategies to help your clients with vertigo, vertigo and imbalance.
The vestibular system is located in the inner ear and, if it does not work properly, it can destroy the balance and the equilibrium of our equilibrium system. This is because the vestibular system, in conjunction with other sensory inputs such as vision and proprioception, provides important information about posture and orientation.
Although BPPV is the most common cause of dizziness, there is much more to consider when assessing and treating a patient with dizziness. In this new course program you will research the anatomy and pathology of the vestibular system and make sure that you know your meniere from your labyrinthitis.

Vestibular rehabilitation program
Vestibular rehabilitation is an effective, evidence-based approach to assessing and treating people with dizziness, vertigo, sensitivity to movement, impaired gaze stability and postural instability. In this program, you will treat BPPV, dizziness after a concussion, vestibular rehab exercise programming, and sensory integration disorders.

The courses
Introduction to vestibular rehabilitation
More and more patients present themselves to the doctor with symptoms such as dizziness, dizziness, imbalance and imbalance. Vestibular rehabilitation is a rapidly growing, evidence-based area of practice that can safely and effectively treat these symptoms. It has been shown to be effective in both peripheral vestibular disorders and central nervous system disorders, including concussion. If you're curious about vestibular rehabilitation but don't know much about it, this short introductory course is for you.
Take the guesswork out of the hoax
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo in patients with peripheral balance disorders. While the overall incidence of BPPV in the general population is only about 2.5 percent, it affects 50 percent of older adults. However, in a significant number of patients, with appropriate treatment, there may be rapid symptom relief. In this course, you will learn how to determine the location of a patient's BPPV and how to optimally manage this customer group.
Achieve rapid improvements for patients
Vestibular pathologies
Acute dizziness can be caused by a number of diseases, from strokes to multiple sclerosis, vestibular migraines and concussions. There are also a number of disorders that specifically affect the peripheral vestibular system. Symptoms associated with these conditions, such as dizziness and imbalance, can be intermittent, temporary, or permanent, but all of them can significantly affect a person's quality of life. However, some of these vestibular dysfunction can be improved with vestibular rehabilitation. This course discusses the various conditions you may encounter when working with vestibular patients and examines the evidence base for physiotherapy management.
Distinguish between different types of pathologies
Vestibular Assessment
Vertigo is defined as the illusion of movement in one's own person or in one's surroundings. It is caused by a dysfunction of the vestibular system. However, there are a number of non-vestibular conditions that cause symptoms similar to dizziness, lightheadedness, or a feeling of floating or floating. Patients may use the term vertigo interchangeably with these other types of vertigo, so it is important to conduct a thorough subjective and objective assessment to determine the nature and cause of a patient's symptoms
Assess dizziness with certainty
Vestibular treatment
Vestibular disorders are a significant problem worldwide, with 80 percent of people over 65 years of age suffering from dizziness. People with vestibular impairment usually have problems with gaze and movement stability as well as balance and posture control deficits. Vestibular rehabilitation is an evidence-based treatment approach that aims to address these impairments. As discussed in this course, there are a number of exercises that can be included in a vestibular rehabilitation program, but each program should be tailored to the client's condition and impairments.
