Prism and the Vestibular System – Vision, Balance, and Behavioral Dysfunction
Copyright :
Vestibular function goes hand in hand with visual function. When you understand how these systems are intertwined, you can immediately resolve vision-related health and function concerns in many clinical populations: headache, diplopia (double-vision), blur, reading and learning deficits and discomfort, attention problems, photophobia (light sensitivity). Explore:
- How visual-vestibular dysfunction impacts brain injury treatment
- The role of oculomotor and vestibular dysfunction in reading disability and praxis
- Testing techniques that you can modify in your own practice: BPPV, Post-rotational nystagmus, peripheral vs. central visual fields, strabismus and other ocular restrictions.
- Opportunities for “coordinated firing” with multimodal experiences to promote the integration of visual and vestibular function.
- Use of prism in visual perceptual, visuomotor, and oculomotor therapies
- Training full body awareness, sensorimotor conditioning, visual-vestibular patterning with evidence-based tools
Accelerate and bolster outcomes in visuomotor, oculomotor, and perceptual training with simple tests and techniques you can implement right away.
