Course content

This workshop covers how to perform accurate assessments of the peripheral and central vestibular system including:

• BPPV assessments and treatment
• Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) and Ocular counter roll (OCR) assessment and interpretation
• Video head impulse test (vHIT), caloric, and rotary chair assessment and interpretation
• Oculomotor and saccadometry assessments and interpretation

We will also explore functional assessment of balance patients:

• Vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR) testing, including the dynamic visual acuity (DVA) test and the gaze stabilization test (GST)

Intended audience

Course content is appropriate for audiologists, technicians, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals involved in performing vestibular tests and vestibular rehabilitation. Attendees need not have extensive vestibular testing experience, but we assume attendees will have some basic knowledge of the vestibular system. The course is relevant to professionals looking to develop their clinical and practical skills in assessing and treating patients with balance-related problems.
