Video Runtime: 61 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 4 Minutes

This course is a recording of a previously hosted live webinar event. Polling and question submission features are not available for this recording. Format and structure may differ from those of standard Medbridge courses.

Session 3 of the Cohort Learning Series focuses on advancing vestibular rehabilitative care for individuals with BPPV, incorporating recent clinical practice updates. Content includes minimal stimulus positioning and testing strategies to enhance management of individuals with kinetosis or anxiety, an in-depth exploration of vestibular agnosia including risk factors and management considerations, and identification and treatment of the short arm variant of posterior canal BPPV. Audience-submitted questions related to BPPV management will also be addressed.

Prior to this session, please complete the following three courses: Learning Objectives
  • Apply minimal stimulus strategies to examine and manage benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in individuals with high anxiety or kinetosis to facilitate increased participation in daily activities
  • Analyze the concept of vestibular agnosia and its clinical implications in individuals with balance disorders
  • Correlate risk factors for vestibular agnosia with clinical presentation in individuals with balance disorders
  • Distinguish diagnostic features and treatment strategies for short arm posterior canal BPPV
