Vestibular First

Big shoutout to Danielle Tolman, PT, DPT! We caught her using #Vertigenius at the Charleston Vestibular Conference. It’s inspiring to see top vestibular clinicians like Danielle embracing innovative tools to deliver the best patient care.

@Brain_Tinkerer @jonstoneneuro @TheEDDPT very interesting resource!

#FND remains a common but challenging presentation in the #Emergency setting. Accurate recognition and sensitive management are essential to avoid unnecessary investigations, minimize iatrogenic #harm and ensure appropriate multidisciplinary care. We are pleased to have contributed to the chapter on Functional Neurological Disorder in the Acute Setting in the 6th edition of "Acute Medicine: A Practical Guide to the Management of Medical Emergencies", and are delighted to see the importance of FND being recognised within #emergencymedicine. wiley.com/en-gb/Acute+Me… Thanks to @jonstoneneuro for this opportunity and to my co-author, Anne‐Catherine M.L. Huys for the heavy lifting. @WileyGlobal

@TheEDDPT Great compliment!!

I'm going to own this one. A unique compliment. Atypical is where innovation lives. #physicaltherapist #physicaltherapy #ptintheed #topofscope

Home high-intensity aerobic training improved ataxia symptoms, fatigue, and aerobic fitness more effectively than dose-matched home balance training among individuals with cerebellar ataxias. #ANA2025 @TheNewANA1 ja.ma/42kZB16

STOP. GIVING. MECLIZINE. ROUTINELY. “Meclizine use following dizziness presentation is associated with increased risk of falls among both patients aged 65 years or older and those aged 18 to 64 years.”

Incredible work by @Veronicabreira making and then testing this intervention for a group of people who often can’t access help. 👏👏👏

@PeterJohns84 Fantastic. Keep it up! 🙌

Great vertigo related couple of days. Cured my brother of posterior canal BPPV yesterday, had a zoom vertigo session with neurology residents in Mecca this morning, and have an in-person meeting with David Newman-Toker this afternoon!

MIGRAINE SPOTS People with migraine are often concerned when they see their brain MRI reports stating “a few white matter hyperintensities” or in more familiar terms, migraine spots. What do these findings mean? Read more…

@ericansonpt @URMCOto @URNeuroscience Congratulations! 🎉

Had fun presenting this work at #ispgr2025 today! Lots of great traffic and good conversations @URMCOto @URNeuroscience

🧠 Watch for these and refer! Greatest odds of persistent symptoms after concussion if: (1) acute cognitive symptoms (2) medical history of anxiety and/or depression OR of sleep disorders (3) presence of loss of consciousness and amnesia #concussion

It’s not what the patient feels that reliably leads to diagnosis. It’s timing, triggers, and a skilled vestibular exam.
