Description

Het NPi organiseert geregeld zgn. 'masterclasses'. Onder een masterclass verstaan we: een scholingsactiviteit, gegeven door een (inter-)nationaal gerenommeerde expert, die qua inhoud vernieuwend is voor paramedici die zich in een bepaalde richting hebben gespecialiseerd, en waarvoor een duidelijk omschreven ingangsniveau geldt.

De beschrijving van de cursusinhoud is hieronder in het Engels weergegeven, aangezien deze masterclass in het Engels wordt gegeven.

This advanced, case-based, practical course provides in-depth training for the assessment and treatment of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). We review 12 different treatments as well as strategies to manage complications such as motion sensitivity, persistent recurrence of BPPV, and other clinical challenges. This course is relevant to orthopaedic, neurological, and geriatric patient populations.

Through case studies and hands-on practice, participants will better understand complex presentations of BPPV, interpretation of assessment findings, differential diagnosis, treatment of complicated BPPV, strategies for less mobile patients, self-management techniques, and motion intolerance. Participants receive a comprehensive course manual that includes all relevant outcome measures and references.
