Concussion management has evolved rapidly, yet one of its most clinically significant dimensions remains underutilized in practice: the relationship between the vestibular system, graviception, spatial perception, and the brain's construction of self. For licensed clinicians seeking advanced training in post-concussive syndrome, vestibular rehabilitation, and functional neurology, this course offers a rigorous, systems-level framework grounded in current peer-reviewed neuroscience. Keywords anchoring this course include concussion rehabilitation, post-concussive syndrome, vestibular concussion, otolith dysfunction, graviception, subjective visual vertical, spatial awareness, and functional neurology continuing education.

This one-credit course reframes how clinicians interpret concussion presentations. Rather than cataloging symptoms in isolation, you will gain a working model of how the brain constructs egocentric and allocentric space using gravity as its primary reference, how concussion disrupts that construction at the level of the brainstem, thalamus, and vestibular nuclei, and how that disruption cascades into the full range of post-concussive symptoms clinicians see every day. Accessible clinical assessment tools are introduced alongside the neuroscience, giving you immediate applications for evaluation and rehabilitation.

This course is designed for chiropractors, chiropractic neurologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other licensed clinicians who regularly encounter patients with concussion, post-concussive symptoms, vestibular disorders, or complex neurological presentations. It is equally valuable for clinicians building or refining a concussion-specific clinical pathway and those seeking to deepen their understanding of the neuroscience that underlies the presentations they already see.
