What you'll learn

At the end of this course, the learner will be able to:

  1. You will be able to identify red flags during your OT provision that would merit further assessment for BPPV.
  2. You will be able to recognize which populations should be considered for BPPV assessment, with or without dizziness.

Course overview

The Epley maneuver is a rare gem in the OT toolkit. A patient can walk into our treatment room, and they can walk out cured. They can walk out with instant relief. (Yes, there is nuance to this. Sometimes the maneuver needs to be repeated. Sometimes it simply doesn't work. There are important contraindications.) But, the other thing that makes this a GEM is that more so than any other condition we treat there are clear clinical guidelines for treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). But, despite the amazing power of this treatment, and the swath of research behind it. Many people fail to have their BPPV identified and treated in a timely manner. In today's article, we get to learn about a trauma center that trained their therapists in managing BPPV after TBI, and were able to reduce their referrals to neurology. You are going to have so many questions after reading this article, and that's why I am so thankful to welcome to the podcast, Jeff Walter, a PT who has devoted much of his career to treating and teaching on this condition.
