Otometrics invites you to our Impulse course. This is a one-day course is designed to assist new users of the ICS Impulse in becoming more familiar with the system’s operation. For current users, this course will allow you to stay up-to-date as new technology and software are introduced to vHIT testing. Key training areas include protocol development, data interpretation and reporting test results.
Description
The purpose of this seminar is to discuss the evaluation of all 5 end organs (semicircular canals, saccule and utricle) of the vestibular system. We’ll address several questions. Why can this information be crucial to the diagnosis of the patient? How may this information assist in determining the treatment? And how can the effectiveness of the treatment be assessed? Participants will have the opportunity for hands-on experience with ICS Impulse. Participants will have the opportunity for hands-on experience with ICS Impulse using all four modules (video Frenzel lense, video Head Impulse Testing – vHIT, Positional testing and Oculomotor testing
