Description

Session #4: September 24, 2026 - Vestibular Dysfunction in the Brain Injury Population Claire Spech, PT, DPT, Board-Certified Neurologic Clinical Specialist

Effective brain injury rehabilitation thrives when behavior, movement, and medical decision-making work together across the continuum of care. This interdisciplinary series delivers the most current, evidence-based strategies for managing patients with brain injury across the clinical settings, helping clinicians feel confident in today’s best practice.

Designed for PTs, PTAs, OTs, COTAs, SLPs, nurses, and allied health professionals, this series focuses on barriers that most often slow progress: behavioral dysregulation, spasticity, vestibular impairments, and reduced tolerance for high-intensity rehabilitation. You’ll gain practical, clinically relevant approaches that improve patient engagement, support safer mobility, and promote meaningful functional recovery in acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, and outpatient settings.
