SLHS 56501 - Vestibular Assessment And Rehabilitation
Credit Hours: 3.00. This course will review anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system. Diagnostic assessment, interpretation and proper recommendation techniques will be discussed. Current research addressing dizziness and balance issues will be reviewed as well as case history discussions to help prepare students to see these patients in a clinic setting. The clinical practice of audiology encompasses the assessment and habilitation/rehabilitation vestibular and balance disorders arising from a wide variety of medical and environmental etiologies. It is essential that audiologists have a firm understanding of the most common causes and medical treatments of vestibular disorders for all age groups. Additionally, vestibular assessment and treatment options are expanding rapidly in the past 5-10 years. Student clinicians need exposure to this area of care so that they may grow as research and technology change. Audiologists practice in a medical setting and thus must be comfortable with the medical approaches and terminology used by otolaryngologists, otologists, neuro-otologists, pediatricians, physical therapists and other allied health professions.Credits: 3.00
