Functional Neurologic Disorders: Evaluation and Recognition

Description

*This webinar is scheduled for 5:00 PM EDT / 2:00 PM PDT (Adjust for your time zone)

In part 1 of this 2-part course on functional neurologic disorders, Drs. Shannon Possardt and Mike Studer reveal and apply the science behind this umbrella of conditions. Upon completion of this course, attendees should expect to feel confident with the neurophysiology, identification, and examination of persons with movement disorders, persistent dizziness, syncope, seizures, and sport and cognitive presentations of FND. Be sure to join part 2, Functional Neurologic Disorders: Intervention and Education, for an in-depth focus on treatment, intervention strategies, and patient education.

Instructors

Learning Objectives

• Correlate disruptions in brain networks with clinical presentations of functional neurological disorders (FNDs)
  
• Categorize the positive signs and clinical features of each subtype of FND, including motor and sensory manifestations
• Construct a structured clinical assessment using validated outcome measures to guide treatment planning for individuals with FND
• Prioritize examination tools to support a subtype-specific evaluation of functional neurological symptoms
• Apply findings from the FND assessment process to support participation in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) and other daily activities impacted by neurologic function
