Nonfinancial: Jeff Walter has no competing nonfinancial interests or relationships with regard to the content presented in this course.
BPPV is a common condition in adults and is typically amenable to treatment. This webinar will focus on advanced BPPV concepts. We will review complications of canalith repositioning maneuvers, including canal conversions, and demonstrate treatment alternatives for refractory posterior canal BPPV. We will also take a close look at identification and treatment of atypical BPPV variants, discuss formulation of optimal sequencing of maneuvers for multicanal BPPV, and examine the concept of “canal jam,” along with treatment suggestions.
It is strongly recommended that the learner be knowledgeable in the fundamentals of BPPV prior to completing this advanced-level webinar. This webinar is appropriate for audiologists, physicians, and physical and occupational therapists with experience in the management of vestibular disorders.
