Dr. Abbie Ross PT, NCS, and Dr. Danielle Tolman talk to Dr. Amir Kheradmand about the causes of disorientation. symptoms of spatial disorientation, and how it can be treated. Dr. Kheradmand is an Associate Professor of Neurology and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and specializes in vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, and disorders of eye movements at Johns Hopkins. 

Dr. Kheradmand's research combines normal human neurophysiology and investigations in patients with disorders such as ocular misalignment, abnormal eye movements, nystagmus, and vestibular dysfunction. A special focus has been on understanding the mechanisms of spatial disorientation, and how their deleterious effects can be ameliorated.

WE’RE BACK! To kick off 2022’s season of Talk Dizzy to Me (TDTM), Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT and Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS interviewed Patrick Esmonde. They dive into his experience with creating 3D Vestibular Models for his company Vestibular First.

Patrick walks us through the evolution of working with 3D modeling software, educating himself about vestibular dysfunction/anatomy, and the various vestibular apparatus models he's helped to create over the years. These models are useful tools for educating patients about their vestibular system and how it works. Patrick and the team at Vestibular First recently teamed up with Vestibular Today to update and improve the functional inner ear model.

In this episode, Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT and Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS are joined by Dr. Debby and Dr. Mark to discuss visual dysfunction and the impact it can have on vestibular patients.

Dr. Debby Feinberg is an optometrist, and Dr. Mark Rosner is an Emergency Physician. They are Co-Founders and Co-Directors of the NeuroVisual Medicine Institute in Michigan, which trains other optometrists to become NeuroVisual Specialists.

Dr. Feinberg has been performing pioneering work with Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD), which is a condition where a vision misalignment creates difficulties with the two eyes working together to create a single 3-dimensional image, as well as difficulties with the two eyes following that image as it moves.

Dr. Mark Rosner is the Director of Education and Research at the NeuroVisual Medicine Institute. He has been actively involved in developing the specialty of NeuroVisual Medicine and in Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) research since 2005. He has led the effort to validate the Binocular Vision Dysfunction Questionnaire, which is used to identify patients who most likely have BVD that will benefit from treatment.
