In today’s lesson, we discuss the vestibular system in Spanish. This is the second free lesson introducing the Vertigo Module) of our **Spanish for Physical Therapy Course. **
The first free lesson) in this series introduces Spanish for the** evaluation of vertigo.** In our member lessons the physical therapist obtains a complete history regarding the patient's vertigo. She asks about the situations in which the vertigo occurs, the duration, associated symptoms, potential provocative factors and the patient's medications.
In this second free lesson introducing Spanish for the treatment of positional vertigo, the physical therapist explains that she thinks the patient's vertigo is caused by a problem in her vestibular system.
