This bundle is designed for physical and occupational therapists working with patients suffering from balance disorders, falls, movement disorders, dizziness, or vertigo. It will cover the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system, the inner ear, oculomotor and somatosensory systems, medical assessments and treatments, and the quality of life of affected older adults.
Therapists will be equipped with evidence-based standardized tests to assess their patients’ risk for falls. These tests will help therapists identify specific impairments that cause balance disorder and provide specific treatment options that can be incorporated into the treatment regimen.
