Vestibulogy II

Theoretical-practical classes of expository and dialogical teaching, using audiovisual media. Group work in the classroom. Scientific articles and videos with different types of nystagmus will be analyzed.
The practical classes will have demonstrative and practical teaching, which will allow students to learn in a roleplay dynamic.
Continuous evaluation:
– T/P evaluation = 70% of the final grade, whose classification must be at least 9.5 values: 80% written frequency + 20% group work (with a minimum grade of 9.5 in each of the evaluations);
– PL evaluation = 30% in the final grade, whose classification must be at least 9.5 values:
The final evaluation consists of 70% of the final grade of the T/P component (whose classification must be at least 9.5) + 30% of the final grade of the practical component (PL) (whose classification must be at least 9.5).

– 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, namely through videonystagmography;
– To acquire knowledge about the importance of pharmacology in individuals with vestibular symptoms.
