VSD-5002 Basic Vestibular Diagnostics
This course is designed to introduce the students to the core components in a basic evaluation of the vestibular system. Students will learn how to obtain a diagnostically-driven case history and apply when evaluating test results. Students will learn how to administer and interpret common bedside/office evaluations of the vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) and vestibular spinal reflexes (VSR). Students will understand theoretical considerations in ocular motility, positioning, positional, and caloric stimulation of the peripheral vestibular system. Students will learn to interpret results of VNG/ENG accurately and report on findings in a meaningful manner.
