Webinar – Functional Neurology: Principles and clinical applications

Speaker: Dr. Luca Vannetiello, D.C., MD

Functional Neurology is a paradigm, a prospective to comprehend and to cure the Central Nervous System.

The premise is: the brain is a receiver and a transmitter.

Receive multi-modal stimuli, like touch, light, sound etc.

Transmits movement; transmits motor responses. All the stimuli are transient, on/off. With the exception of just one. Gravity.

Consequently the CNS can be examined and understood through the motor responses to external stimuli. The functional neurological paradigm and the clinical neuroscience allow for the definition of specific rehabilitation protocols.

Rehabilitation strategies include, ocular exercises, head/eye coordination, electrical somatosensory stimulation.

COURSE GOAL

Scientific principles will be explored and clinical application will be demonstrated.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

To provide attendees a framework of clinical reasoning from a neurological prospective.
