Vestibulogy II

Base Knowledge

– The student must know and understand the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system;
– The student must know the most common pathologies of the vestibular system;
-The student must have the knowledge acquired in the Vestibulogy I.

Teaching Methodologies

– Theoretical and practical classes with expository, interrogative and active teaching, using audiovisual media;
– Small group work in the classroom to better understand the theoretical content;
– Scientific articles and videos with different types of nystagmus and maneuvers for BPPV;
– Practical classes will take place in the audiology laboratory, where there will be demonstrative and practical teaching, which will allow students to learn in a roleplay dynamic.

 

 

Learning Results

– To acquire knowledge about postural balance, vestibular symptoms and different types of nystagmus;
– To acquire knowledge about the anamnesis of the individual with vestibular deficit;
– To acquire knowledge about the performance and interpretation of the evaluation of VSR and OVR, through different test;
– Acquire knowledge about how to perform and interpret the assessment of the otolith organs;
– Acquire knowledge about Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and its clinical assessment;
– Acquire knowledge about vertigo in pediatric age;
– Know how to relate the results of the different vestibular system assessment tests with the structures.

 

Program

– Presentation of assessment methodologies and dates; Review of the function of the vestibular system – 2h
– Review of the vestibulopsinal reflex (VSR) and vestíbulo ocular reflex (VOR) assessment tests, covered in Vestibulology I – 2h
– Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT): HIMP and SHIMP – 4h
– Clinical relationship between vHIT and the caloric test – 2h
– Otolithic Organs (SVV; cVEMP and oVEMP) – 6h
– Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): pathophysiology and diagnose maneuvers – 4h
– Vestibular assessment in pediatrics ages – 4h
– Analysis and interpretation of clinical cases involving the different vestibular system assessment tests – 4h
– Written Assessment – 2h
 
– Practical classes (PL) – 30 h for each group:
The practical classes will follow the material taught in the theoretical/practical classes, with the performance and interpretation of the different vestibular system assessment tests.

Grading Methods

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:

T/P evaluation = 70% of the final grade, with a grade of 9.5:

- 70% written test* (The use of AI is permitted in the research, structuring and writing of the work. The use of AI must be explicitly indicated and cited);

- 20% group work in the classroom *

- 10% Quizzes

*with a minimum grade of 9.5 in each of the evaluations

PL evaluation = 5% active participation in classes + 25% practical evaluation*;

*with a minimum grade of 9.5:

The final evaluation consists of 70% of the final grade of the T/P component (with a grade of at least 9.5) + 30% of the final grade of the practical component evaluation (with a grade of at least 9.5).

EXAM ASSESSMENT:

70% of the TP component + 30% of the PL component, with a minimum grade of 9.5 in each component.

No use of AI is permitted
