Dizziness is the number one cause of office visits to physicians for patients over the age of 65. The most common cause of dizziness is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). In one study of older adults, 1 out of 10 persons presenting to the clinic for other medical conditions had un-diagnosed BPPV. The persons with BPPV also had a higher incidence of recent reported falls. BPPV can be seen post-operatively or after a fall. Falls and dizziness are also a leading cause of hospital admissions with high rates of mortality and morbidity. As rehabilitation professionals, we are often called on to treat persons with balance and/or dizziness impairments. How can we determine if the problem is medical, mechanical, or from the often-misdiagnosed problem of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo? This course will provide you with the tools to be able to deferentially diagnosis what conditions are within your scope of practice and which patients should be referred for additional follow-up care. In addition, the program will provide hands on practice and differential diagnosis skills for identifying both peripheral and central vestibular disorders. All participants will have an opportunity to practice evaluation techniques and interventions for the treatment of BPPV and other vestibular disorders.
