Vestibular Rehabilitation Course
Course Overview
Join us for a comprehensive workshop enhancing vestibular rehabilitation skills on February 1st and 2nd, 2025, led by expert Naseem Chatiwala. This immersive two-day workshop is designed to deepen clinicians’ expertise in evaluating and treating vestibular disorders, equipping them with practical skills they can apply immediately in clinical practice. Participants will gain a solid, hands-on foundation in vestibular anatomy, assessment, and evidence-based treatment strategies that can benefit a broad range of patients beyond vestibular diagnoses.
Learning Objectives
Describe the key anatomical structures of the vestibular system, including both central and peripheral components, and explain their role in maintaining balance and spatial orientation.
Distinguish and differential diagnose between peripheral, central and other vestibular disorders based on clinical characteristics, allowing for accurate diagnosis and targeted intervention
Perform comprehensive oculomotor and vestibular assessment.
Formulate individualized treatment plans utilizing evidence-based therapeutic interventions for vestibular dysfunction, including habituation, gaze stabilization, adaptation, and substitution exercises.
Identify variants of BPPV, understand the underlying pathophysiology, and perform effective Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers (CRM) to manage this common vestibular condition successfully.
Apply updated clinical practice guidelines for vestibular rehabilitation in both assessment and treatment approaches
