This course will include instruction in anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system. Completion of this course is highly recommended prior to completion of other MedBridge vestibular course offerings. The course content promotes improved understanding of common complaints associated with vestibular disorders, along with enhanced understanding of the rationales for vestibular examination and treatment procedures. The course will review detailed sensory functions of the semicircular canals and otolithic organs. Dark cell and otoconia structure and function will be reviewed, which is essential to understanding benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Motor functions of the vestibular system will also be reviewed, including their critical contribution to gaze stabilization and postural control. The course is appropriate for audiologists and occupational/physical therapists and assistants.
