Vestibular Issues And Balance Disorders CEU Courses

The GSI Audera Pro™ includes the VEMP Analysis Module which can be utilized by the clinician when analyzing cervical and optical VEMP recordings. This course will review collection protocols, how to perform and how to analyze oVEMP and cVEMP test data. VEMP CPT codes will be discussed.

This course will briefly review the human balance system, common balance disorders and the aging process as related to balance. Complementary approaches to improving and maintaining balance will be reviewed.

This edition of the Vanderbilt Audiology Journal Club will cover recent articles and publications on vestibular topics presented by Gary Jacobson PhD, Richard A Roberts PhD and Kelsey Hatton AuD.

This 5-part webinar series is focused on the growing evidence of the need for pediatric vestibular evaluation, as well as the availability of successful treatment options for children. Guest editors, Dr. Devin McCaslin and Dr. Jennifer Christy along with a team of leading experts will present on select articles from a recent issue of the journal Seminars in Hearing (Issue 03 · Volume 39 · 2018).

This presentation will review 2 pediatric vestibular clinical cases. Using these clinical cases as a guide, Dr. Janky will review the overall prevalence of dizziness / vestibular loss in children, which children are candidates for vestibular assessment, which vestibular assessments are appropriate given the child’s age and vestibular assessment modifications for testing children.

This presentation focuses on the importance of performing Probe Microphone Measures (PMM)/Real Ear Measures (REM) for all pediatrics fitting and the adverse short- and long-term ramifications of not using evidence-based practice on language, social and emotional outcomes for children. A brief history of PMM’s will be covered and case presentations will be discussed.

The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of how to perform vestibular tests in children, including which tests are recommended based on the child’s age and any modifications or considerations that can be made.

This course will provide information for the practicing clinician as well as researchers with regard to the anatomical and physiologic characteristics of oculomotor function. Additionally, this course will present study findings related to the application of oculomotor function testing as part of videonystagmography to the pediatric population.

This course will explore common pediatric neurologic diagnoses leading to vestibular related impairments. The course will also discuss considerations for testing and treatment of vestibular related impairments.

This course will cover considerations for developing a multidisciplinary pediatric balance center. Specifics related to the development of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Multidisciplinary Pediatric Balance Center will be discussed.
