Otolith dysfunction is often overlooked, yet it plays a crucial role in balance disorders. Learn how to assess it effectively!

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

In this webinar, Dr. Pérez Fernández will delve into the importance of otolith function in balance and spatial orientation, offering a structured and clinically relevant approach to vestibular testing.

• Case-based learning: The session will begin with a real clinical case to highlight the necessity of proper otolithic evaluation and its impact on patient outcomes.
• Otolith anatomy & physiology: A clear and concise review of the utricle and saccule, focusing on their role in detecting linear acceleration and gravitational forces.
• Diagnostic methodologies: Exploring the most effective testing techniques depending on what is being assessed, whether ocular reflexes or subjective perception.
• Otolithic syndrome: What it is, its potential causes, its clinical presentation, and the challenges associated with its diagnosis.

By the end of the session, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how to assess otolith function in clinical practice and will gain valuable insights into improving diagnostic precision for vestibular disorders.
