Benign Positional Vertigo in Children

Evaluate and treat the most common form of vertigo in children and adults. (A hands-on, lab-based course!)

About this Course

Course Description

Evaluation and Treatment of Positional Vertigo in Children and Adults: is an introductory, lab-based course geared for rehabilitation clinicians (physical therapists, occupational therapists, physiatrists). (Movements will be performed virtually in a set up that will allow you to replicate the information once you return to your clinics and schools.)

The program content is designed to teach the clinician to be able to screen for the most common cause of positional vertigo and perform the appropriate treatment based on examination findings.

The labs are designed to be performed in a treatment space similar to that of a pediatric gym, so treatment maneuvers are modified to be performed on mats on the floor and mimic the realistic environment that clinicians operate in pediatric settings.
