Sitting Up Vertigo Course
Mastering the Management of Sitting Up Vertigo
Course Description: This comprehensive course explores "sitting up vertigo," a challenging variant of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) often misdiagnosed or mistreated. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the unique pathophysiology underlying this condition, focusing on the complex interplay of debris within the short arm of the posterior semicircular canal and its interaction with the cupula during transitions from the Dix-Hallpike position to an upright posture.
Key Features:
Detailed analysis: Explore the biomechanics of canalithiasis and cupulolithiasis in the context of sitting-up vertigo, differentiating it from other BPPV subtypes.
Clinical mastery: Learn to confidently identify the hallmark upbeating nystagmus and associated symptoms, enabling accurate diagnosis.
Treatment strategies: Master evidence-based treatment techniques, including repositioning maneuvers tailored to address sitting-upsitting-up vertigo and counseling strategies.
Case studies and video demonstrations enhance learning by providing real-world examples and visual demonstrations of assessment and treatment procedures.
Target Audience: This advanced course is designed for experienced clinicians, including audiologists, otolaryngologists, physical therapists, and neurologists, who specialize in vestibular disorders and seek to refine their expertise in diagnosing and managing this specific BPPV presentation.
