Module 10: Vestibular Rehab (pre-mindmap)
Overview
complex areas of anatomy
common cause of illness/loss of function
With scope as both inpatient and outpatient, PT well placed to assess, diagnose and treat- as well as identify more sinister causes of symptoms and refer on.
Feelings
an area I have always been interested in, but not very confident.
although I have had exposure within the acute inpatient setting, at times inconsistently in order to really develop skills to the next level.
Facts
can be complex anatomy
Significant loss of function + meaningful engagement for many people (consider ICF framework)
Do not miss sinister / central signs and symptoms
Difficulties
common peripheral causes often mis-diagnosed by Medical staff, inappropriately referred to PT (e.g. cardiac cause to dizziness, lack of thorough subjective / objective). This does in turn promote the skills of a therapist in effective assessment, and the importance of PT in an MDT.
Have previously struggled with the elderly patient with these peripheral symptoms- in skillfully modifying special tests due to reduced ROM, high VBI risk etc.
Opportunities/Benefits
great opportunity to refresh anatomy- on attempting to draw/list this was very disappointed with knowledge of peripheral anatomy + function.
I feel I lack confidence to transition findings to an indep. program for the patient, esp. with more complex symptoms- hopefully can expand this area.
Creativity
practice thorough subjective and objective assessments on all neuro patients (e.g. strokes, both acute and rehab) to further refine skills, esp. VOR.
