Challenge 1: Lesson 1

We deep dive on anatomy and physiology: if we don't understand normal physiology, how can we possibly grasp pathology?

For anyone looking to excel in vestibular assessment and rehabilitation, understanding Vestibular Anatomy and Physiology and Vestibular Neurophysiology Compensation is crucial.

Test Your Knowledge:

1. The vestibular labyrinth contains 2 types of sensors, the semicircular canals (SCCs) and the otolith organs (utricle and saccule). Each of the 3 SCCs contains an enlarged area known as the _____________________ and are important for the transduction of neural activity while the otolith organs are important for the transduction of activity.
a. cupula; linear; angular
b. ampulla; angular; linear
c. ampulla; linear; angular
d. common crus; angular; linear
e. round window; linear; angular

2. Peripheral vestibular nystagmus is described by the fast phase as well as one of the following characteristics:
a. decreases when looking into the direction of the fast phase
b. horizontal and pendular in nature
c. decreases without fixation
d. decreases with visual fixation
e. increases with visual fixation

3. Which of the following types of nystagmus is considered pathological?
a. optokinetic, caloric and/or rotational induced
b. optokinetic and end-range
c. spontaneous and end-range
d. spontaneous, gave-evoked, and/or positional
e. congenital
