Course Description:

This intensive 1.5-day course provides a comprehensive and engaging approach to managing Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). This program is designed for physical therapists and therapist assistants, and it refines your clinical reasoning skills through in-depth case studies, interactive discussions, and evidence-based techniques. Dive deep into five distinct BPPV patient cases, each with unique challenges requiring tailored treatment strategies. Analyze real-life scenarios, including geotropic and apogeotropic posterior canal BPPV, horizontal canal BPPV with severe cervical pain necessitating a square wave maneuver, bilateral posterior canal BPPV with recalcitrant left posterior canal BPPV, and BPPV with significant cervical and spinal restrictions demanding modified testing parameters. Gain a solid foundation with a thorough review of BPPV disorders, including current pathophysiology, diagnostic tests, and effective treatment techniques. Develop advanced clinical reasoning skills by actively participating in case discussions, analyzing assessments, and formulating individualized treatment plans. Explore the latest research and evidence-based guidelines, ensuring your practice remains current. Translate theoretical knowledge into practical skills through hands-on demonstrations and simulated patient interactions. Upon completion, confidently diagnose different types of BPPV, perform and interpret assessments, select appropriate treatment maneuvers, modify procedures for patients with comorbidities, apply evidence-based principles, and enhance clinical reasoning in BPPV treatment.
