Unlocking the Mystery of Atypical BPPV

Have you ever been stumped by a patient who seemed to have BPPV, but whose presentation just didn’t fit the pattern?

BPPV is often straightforward to recognize and treat until it’s not. Sometimes the expected nystagmus is absent, or the findings seem opposite to what you’d normally expect. What’s going on in these cases?

Join Kregg Ochitwa in this live online webinar as we explore how to recognize, understand, and manage the atypical forms of BPPV.

In this session, we’ll classify these unusual presentations, review why they behave this way, and discuss practical strategies that have proven effective in resolving them.

Whether you’re new to vestibular therapy or have years of experience, this webinar will deepen your understanding and help you approach those “odd” cases with greater clarity and confidence.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

1. Classify several atypical presentations of BPPV.
2. Understand the underlying mechanisms that explain their unusual behaviour.
3. Identify the clinical signs that suggest an atypical form of BPPV.
4. Explore treatment options for managing these challenging cases.
5. Apply a structured approach to improve your confidence, clinical reasoning, and outcomes.

Date & Time

Bottom Line

While most cases of BPPV can be treated in a straightforward manner, atypical presentations require deeper insight into vestibular physiology and pathology.

This webinar will highlight key findings from the literature, share practical strategies you can apply immediately, and ultimately help you achieve better outcomes for those patients who don’t fit the “typical” mold.

Audience

This course is designed for physiotherapists (physical therapists) and other allied health professionals who assess and treat patients with dizziness or balance disorders.

If you’ve ever been puzzled by a “not-so-classic” BPPV presentation, this webinar is for you.
