The Dix-Hallpike manoeuvre is performed
for diagnosis and the Epley manoeuvre
used for treatment of posterior canal
benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
(BPPV). However, musculoskeletal
conditions may restrict utility of these
manoeuvres.

The Semont and liberatory manoeuvres
are described in this article. These
manoeuvres are simple and highly

increase students’ competence with this population. The Washington University Program in Occupational
Therapy fosters students’ clinical reasoning skills throughout a two semester case-based learning course. For
the community mental health module at the end of the 2nd semester, the program partnered with two local
community agencies to provide an opportunity for students to work with clients experiencing severe mental
illness. Students administered assessments, planned and implemented interventions, and completed
documentation. Following the experience, students reported increased ability to facilitate interventions and
adapt to client needs and clients reported an increase in independent living skills. This paper will describe the
development of the course module, collaboration between the academic institution and community based
agencies, and s
