Learning Objectives
- Introduction: 1 Classify the terminologies of acquired brain injury, 2 Know the range of common etiologies of acquired brain injury, 3 Recall the importance of falls and head trauma in ABI
- Mild-moderate acquired brain injury:1 Recall the different possibilities resulting in mild to moderate acquired brain injury2 Discuss the mechanics of coup and contrecoup brain injuries3 Know the biomechanics, and variation in symptoms and recovery of concussion
- Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation:1 Characterise the role of an optometrist providing neuro-optometric rehabilitation2 Discuss the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to rehabilitating patients suffering traumatic brain injury3 Restate the evidence supporting early intervention in mABI/concussion
- Concussion:1 Classify the mechanics and features of concussion2 Know the impacts of traumatic brain on injury on activities of daily living (ADL)3 Discuss the overall concepts of visual dysfunctions resulting from ABI
- Vision dysfunctions in mABI:1 Repeat details of the incidence of vision dysfunction in mABI.2 List the vision dysfunctions which may occur as a result of mABI.3 Know the epidemiology of post-concussion syndrome
- Medical diagnosis of mABI/Concussion:1 Recall the details and application of the Glasgow Coma Scale2 Reproduce the sideline signs, and Berlin Guideline indications, of mABI/concussion.3 Discuss the visual performance markers of mABI/concussion
- The role of Posturography in Optometric Practice:1. Know the neuroanatomy and discuss the functional neurology implicit in human postural control2. Understand the role of vision in postural control, balance, cervical spine function and sensorimotor action3. Differentially diagnose through posturography case studies, deficits in the vestibular, proprioceptive and visual function and recall the implications for man
