Functional Neurology Management of Concussion: Level 2, Chapter 6 - Quantifying Visual and Oculomotor Dysfunction in Concussion
June 14 - June 16
$12,980
The chapter offers an in-depth exploration of the anatomy and physiology of the visual and oculomotor systems, tracing their progression from peripheral mechanisms to central processing. It includes foundational concepts of visual refraction and investigates specialized testing methods for the visual system, such as color processing, stereopsis, accommodative range, ocular alignment, Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs), Electroretinography (ERGs), and more.
This course will cover:
- Quantification of Visual and Oculomotor Dysfunctions:
- Commonly associated with concussions.
- Emphasizes the dominance of the human visual system (80% of brain’s environmental information from visual input).
- Coordination of intra-ocular, extra-ocular, facial, and neck muscles to control visual input.
- Anatomy and Physiology of Visual and Oculomotor Systems:
- Journey from peripheral mechanisms to central processing.
- Basics of visual refraction
- Oculomotor Functions and Pathologies:
- Accommodation.
- Ocular alignment.
- Ocular reflexes.
- Gaze maintenance.
- Saccades.
- Pursuits.
- Vergence.
- Impact on human functioning and changes post-concussion
