On-Demand: Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD): A Pediatric Perspective

On Demand
Rehabilitation for dizziness has been extensively studied in the adult population and growing evidence is demonstrating increased frequency of persistent dizziness symptoms in children and adolescents. There is an active role for physical therapy in the management of symptoms and functional outcomes. Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) can impact patients at a young age and prolonged symptoms can have a significant impact on activity and participation in the pediatric population. Treatment must include physical therapy and collaboration in a multidisciplinary setting for best outcomes. The goal of this presentation is to review PPPD, discuss treatment approach and recommendations, and develop collaborations with community providers.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion of this course, the learner will be able to define the diagnosis and implications for treatment planning, prognosis, and outcomes for pediatric persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD).
  • Upon completion of this course, the learner will be able describe and understand pediatric physical therapy interventions for PPPD
  • Upon completion of this course, the learner will be able describe and understand the role of PT within the multidisciplinary team for PPPD
