Atypical BPPV of the Posterior Canal

Ever had a BPPV patient that just did not make sense?

Negative Dix-Hallpike… symptoms when sitting up… sustained nystagmus… or treatments that should work but do not?

You are not alone and there is usually a reason.

This 1-hour online course is available on demand any time. The course was created to help clinicians better understand and manage atypical presentations of posterior canal BPPV. We take a deeper look at common variants including short-arm canalithiasis, cupulolithiasis, distal long-arm canalithiasis, and periampullary canalithiasis, cases that often create uncertainty and lead clinicians to second-guess their findings.

Rather than chasing shiny new techniques, this course provides a practical framework built on understanding the basics first, then knowing when and how to adapt your assessment and treatment approach.

Inside the course, we cover:

  • Why classic BPPV “rules” sometimes fail
  • How to recognize common atypical posterior canal variants
  • Clinical clues that help differentiate atypical BPPV from central causes
  • Multiple treatment strategies for each presentation
  • Video demonstrations of assessment and treatment maneuvers
  • Real patient examples to improve pattern recognition and confidence

The goal is simple: stop guessing and start treating with confidence.

Because not every BPPV case is textbook and your approach should not be either.

This course is ideal for physical therapists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, occupational therapists, audiologists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals treating patients with dizziness.

  • Lifetime access
  • Certificate included
  • Practical strategies you can use immediately

Cost: CAD$48. Discounts available for subscribers.
