Neurology 125

Course overview

Compared and contrast galvanic vestibular stimulation and Tone Burst Vestibular Stimulation in the treatment of the balance impaired patient. Apply the polarity specific effects of the anode and cathode on the vestibular system for amelioration of common balance impairments. Identify the anatomical location of electrode placement for Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation. Create a treatment strategy using Tone Bursts based on physiological pairing of semicircular canals. Apply Specific Tone Protocols based on Saccule versus Utricle dysfunction in balance impaired patients.
