Vestibular Issues And Balance Disorders CEU Courses

Visually Induced Dizziness is often described by patients attending the balance clinic. It is associated with peripheral and central vestibular disorders, can be one of the more disabling aspects of the patient’s condition and, if not identified and managed effectively, will impact a patient’s recovery. During this session, the speaker provides tools and resources to identify Visually Induced Dizziness, context to help explain the condition to patients, and tips and tricks on how to manage patients with this disease.

Selecting vestibular assessment tests should be based on medical necessity and answering clinically based questions related to individual patient symptoms, past medical history, and signs. This intermediate presentation will provide an overview of vestibular measures and best-practice guidelines in vestibular assessment, and help the attendee understand best-practice approaches in the vestibular clinic.

Within the past 5 years there has been a rebirth of interest in an evoked potential referred to in the past as the “inion potential.” In this session we will describe its history, recordability and potential usefulness in the assessment of the vestibular cerebellum.

Dizziness is one of the most common symptoms after concussion, and audiologists are sometimes the first group to perform testing. This course will teach audiologists which tests may be performed, as well as the results, after concussion to determine vestibular system impairments.

Sheila Thelen, President of Vestibular Training Services and Master Rated Figure Skating Coach, applied these world-class vestibular training tools (USA Patent) in an INNOVATION presentation on how spinning affects the vestibular system and can improve the brain’s ability to balance and the cognitive processes. Sheila speaks about applying world-class athletic training tools to the general population.

Multidisciplinary intervention of individuals at risk of falls and post-fall is crucial to effective rehabilitation and prevention of future falls. This course identifies areas of collaboration and supportive information-sharing strategies between professions who commonly see individuals who fall and are likely to be injured due to a fall.

Individuals with significant hearing loss may be at risk for reduced vestibular performance following cochlear implantation. This course discusses these risks and provides appropriate recommendations for diagnosis and management.

Why audiologists should include vestibular-balance neurodiagnostics in their practices, and considerations for getting starting such as selecting a test battery, establishing referral sources, training, and more.
