LEARN MORECOURSE OVERVIEW
This 12.5-hour introductory course will bring concussion into the spotlight. It’s aimed at improving the clinical competency of primary care practitioners (Chiropractors, Physiotherapist, Osteopaths, Occupational Therapist, Medical Practitioner, Exercise Physiologists, Audiologist) so they’re able to identify and manage patients that present with a concussion and related symptoms.
Whilst we may think of concussions only in the sporting arena, we see mild traumatic brain injuries as a result of whiplash injuries, falls, military services, and physical abuse.
Impairments and symptoms consistent with concussion, head and whiplash injuries include; dizziness, brain fog, light and noise sensitivities, poor balance, altered sleep, reduced focus and concentration, fatigue and many others. It’s imperative that the practitioner is equiped at assessing and treating eye movement disorders, vestibular dysfunction, dysautonomia, poor balance and co-ordination, brain fog, sensory sensitivities.
In this module (12.5 hours CPD) you will learn:
- Concussion relevance and risk factors – understand the incidence, position statements and who is at risk of suffering a concussion and experiencing prolonged effects
- Concussion neurophysiology and neuro-immune-metabolic consequences – the foundation in your understanding of findings and applications
- Vestibular Assessment and Management – appreciate nystagmus as it relates to concussion
- BPPV – learn the subtle differences in presentations that help identify the affected canal and the most appropriate management
- Oculomotor Assessment and Management – appreciate movement of the eyes and what they tell us about brain function, as well as a ‘window into therapy’
- Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy – Apply and integrate the examination findings to develop a tailored management protocol
- Balance and Gait Assessment and Management – measure the most common parameters of balance and use it for a tailored managemenAutonomic Dysregulation and Exercise Intolerance – understand and monitor sign of fatigue and exercise intolerance in your concussion patients
- Cervicogenic Assessment and Management – learn and apply contemporary sensorimotor and neuromotor protocols for patients suffering whiplash and chronic neck pain
- Cognitive Assessment – understand how working memory, visual and verbal memory are affected and how to test for it
