Description
In this dynamic recording from the renowned Robert Donatelli, PT, PhD, learn how to actively treat post-concussion symptoms and return your patients back to sports, reaction, and life. With a mixture of video and lecture, you will review the pertinent anatomy and function of the vestibular system with emphasis on ocular motor function and balance training.
Examine how concussions effect the vestibular system and ocular motor system with athletes in relation to their performance, particularly with Cervicogenic Vestibular Dysfunction. Walk away with the proper evaluation tests that can pinpoint which system – somatosensory, vestibular, and vision – has deficits and treatment techniques that can lead to improved performance on and off the field.
