AUDP 8110 - Advanced Vestibular Evaluation and Management

10 weeks/4 credit hours

This course is designed to provide students with a detailed understanding of specialized vestibular diagnostic tools. Topics will include rotational chair testing, computerized dynamic posturography (CDP), vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP), video head impulse testing (VHIT) and subjective visual vertical (SVV) testing. Test results will be correlated with ENG/VNG and common errors in interpretation will be covered. The philosophical bases for vestibular treatment will be addressed, providing specific symptom-based strategies for treating identifiable vestibular dysfunction. Students will be instructed on effective administration of vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) protocol and accurate evaluation of treatment efficacy. Content delivery will utilize a practical approach to allow audiologists to develop knowledge and skills for provision of vestibular treatment within their scope of practice. Topics include infection control procedures as they relate to advanced vestibular evaluation and management.
