Description
Patients with vestibular impairment typically experience issues with gaze stability, motion stability, and balance and postural control. Vestibular rehabilitation is, therefore, focused on addressing these areas of pathology or dysfunction. However, the specific treatment approach will depend on the pathology and each patient’s unique presentation. It is, therefore, essential to have a detailed understanding of the vestibular system when treating this patient group. Vestibular physical therapy is performed by a physical therapist who has had extensive training in problems affecting balance and vestibular systems.
Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system.
  • Describe the pathophysiology of common vestibular disorders.
  • Identify Canalith repositioning maneuvers for appropriate canals based on type and direction of eye motion (canalithiasis and cupulolithiasis).
  • Discriminate differential diagnosis of peripheral and central disorders
  • Demonstrate the basic ability to perform and interpret the beside oculomotor exam.
  • Identify and demonstrate appropriate treatment interventions for patients with vestibular dysfunction.
