He will lead us through a review of the vestibular system and approach to a patient with complaints of dizziness including advanced diagnostic testing and management. Matthew Bjelac is a board certified Neurologic physical therapist at Ohio State and vestibular team lead. Matt will discuss physical exam and screening tests as well as vestibular rehabilitation.
