Dizziness: A practical, evidence based intro to Vestibular Assessment, Treatment & Rehab

Peripheral vestibular assessment

Learn how clinicians test the vestibulo-ocular reflex to uncover peripheral vestibular dysfunction using dynamic visual acuity, gaze stability, head impulse, and head shake assessments. You’ll also see how eye movements and nystagmus patterns help distinguish weak vestibular function from central warning signs.

Pathologies

Explore how to identify the most common causes of vestibular dizziness by tracing where the problem begins, from inner-ear crystals to nerve, brain, migraine, and circulatory triggers. You’ll also learn the key symptom patterns that guide diagnosis, treatment, and patient-focused rehabilitation.

Central vestibular assessment

Learn how clinicians assess dizziness by separating harmless peripheral causes from urgent central conditions, using key clues from history, symptoms, eye movements, and balance testing. Discover the practical thought process that guides referral, diagnosis, and targeted rehabilitation.

Introduction

Discover why dizziness is so often misunderstood, overlooked, and life-changing—and how the right assessment can quickly restore confidence, function, and quality of life. Learn to make sense of vertigo through patient-focused evaluation, vestibular physiology, and targeted rehabilitation strategies that truly work.

Vestibular Rehab

Discover how vestibular rehabilitation helps the brain naturally recover from dizziness by removing the barriers that slow progress. Learn why movement, feedback, and personalized exercises are key to restoring balance, confidence, and everyday function.

Anatomy & Physiology part 1

Master the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system to sharpen assessment, interpret dizziness more accurately, and plan more effective treatment. Explore how vision, proprioception, and inner-ear signals work together in balance—and why sudden dizziness so often points to vestibular dysfunction.

BPPV

Discover why BPPV, the most common cause of positional vertigo, creates sudden spinning with simple movements like rolling in bed or tipping the head back. Learn how displaced inner-ear crystals are identified and treated with practical maneuvers that can quickly relieve symptoms.

Anatomy & Physiology part 2

Discover how the vestibular system keeps your gaze sharp, your head upright, and your body balanced through finely tuned reflexes linking the ears, eyes, brainstem, and cerebellum. You’ll also learn why specific eye movement problems can reveal important neurological signs, including early indicators of multiple sclerosis.

Functional balance tests

Learn how clinicians spot vestibular dysfunction through walking, balance, posture, and positional testing, while distinguishing peripheral causes from central warning signs. You’ll also discover how simple assessments like Dix-Hallpike, step testing, and foam balance tasks reveal dizziness patterns and falls risk.
