Secure Balance™ Training Program

Saturday, December 02, 2006 - Sunday, December 03, 2006

Jacksonville FL

Description of the course

To have the novice technologist and physician learn about the clinical problems of dizziness, vestibular dysfunction and brain disorders culminating in falls. The underlying anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology will be stressed. Dynamic and static testing of the vestibular systems and the central nervous systems will also be covered. Small group discussions will be held with hands-on training with the equipment. The technologists will also have separate, specialized training sessions. Some technician training sessions will be with their physicians working in a group so they can operate as a team as they will in their home venue. The course is programmed to instill competence in the team to not only do the test (after the patient is first examined and evaluated by the physician), but to assess in conclusion, new and proper directions for therapy. Several therapies will be taught including the Epley maneuver and other balance training technologies that have yielded positive outcomes.
