Management of Balance Dysfunction in those with Neurological Impairment

Who should attend this course?

The Management of balance dysfunction in those with neurological impairment course is designed for allied health professionals who wish to extend and enhance their knowledge to help underpin their decision making when working with those with balance dysfunction resultant from neurological impairment.

You should be a qualified healthcare professional, with experience of practice that involves the assessment and management of those with balance dysfunction.

The day will be suitable for both those with a specialist interest in neurology, as well as those who work with a more diverse client group, perhaps in the community, of whom those with neurological impairment make up a sub-section.

Course content

The course will review and explore the current evidence base that underpins and guides decision making within the rehabilitation and management of those with balance dysfunction resultant from neurological impairment. Consideration will be given to the assessment of balance and a review of both the different potential primary deficits involved (sensory, cognitive, motor) as well as the contribution from secondary systems (MSK and Cresp). Treatment and management will be considered both in generic terms, as well as with specific reference to different groups such as Parkinson’s and atypical Parkinson’s, MS (inc. a review of ataxia), TBI and stroke.
