BPPV is the most common vestibular disorder across the life span for which therapists play a critical role in optimal management, including, potential high rates of success with limited treatments. This course is designed to help guide clinicians in establishing the fundamental knowledge and treatment techniques to more effectively manage patients with BPPV. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
Editor's Note: Regarding Pennsylvania credits, this course is approved by the PA State Board of Physical Therapy for 1 hour of general and 1 hour of Direct Access CE credit.
Please note this course is for the clinician that has baseline knowledge of the vestibular system as this course is intermediate/advanced level depending on practice area/education on the topic. Exam hints are on the top right corner of the handout and understanding the directionality of assessment and treatment is necessary to understanding course content and working with this clientele.
