Description
This 15-hour course offers an in-depth exploration of the cranial nerves—essential pathways connecting the brain to the body’s vital functions. Scholars will study the structure, function, and embryology of all 12 cranial nerves, focusing on clinical anatomy, diagnostic examination techniques, and neurorehabilitation strategies. From sensory and motor testing to targeted rehab applications, this course equips clinicians with hands-on tools to evaluate and treat dysfunction in vision, olfaction, balance, facial expression, speech, and autonomic function.
What you’ll learn:
- Identify the structure, function, and embryological development of all cranial nerves.
- Perform clinical exams and diagnostic tests for sensory, motor, and autonomic cranial nerve function.
- Recognize common pathologies affecting cranial nerves and appropriate referral strategies.
- Apply evidence-based rehab techniques to restore or enhance cranial nerve function.
