Presenters:
Courtney Kolberg, AuD
CEUs: 0.1 AAA/Tier1 CEUs
Duration: 60 minutes
Instructional Level: Intermediate
Program Focus: Knowledge
Description:
This session aims to help guide clinicians in understanding the utility of rotary chair in the diagnosis and management of complex vestibulopathy. Relevant anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system will be reviewed, followed by a discussion of rotary chair assessments. Expected test results will be discussed in the context of underlying anatomy to differentiate between peripheral and central vestibular impairments, to determine level of compensation, and to explore the value that each measure adds to the overall test battery. The session will include an interactive discussion of pertinent case history and interpretation of results. Clinical case examples will be used to supplement the presentation and to synthesize the information discussed.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Describe rotational chair testing and its various clinical applications.
2. Differentiate between peripheral and central vestibular impairments, as well as compensated versus uncompensated vestibular lesions.
3. Discuss how rotational chair assessments add value to the overall test battery and contribute to the diagnosis of complex vestibulopathy.
