Implications of Peripheral and Central Vestibular Dysfunction in Concussion Part 2

This part 2 module offers an in-depth look at the vestibular system's role in concussion-related dysfunction. From peripheral structures to central integration centers, clinicians will explore how vestibular decompensation contributes to post-concussive symptoms. The chapter covers key vestibular reflexes, pathologies, and their clinical presentations. Diagnostic tools—such as VNG, caloric irrigation, video head impulse testing, and rotary chair testing—are reviewed in detail, emphasizing their relevance in localizing vestibular dysfunction. Learners will also examine how vestibular issues intersect with concussion subtypes and influence rehabilitation strategies.
