Vestibulogy II

– 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.

– 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.

– 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.
