Draaierigheids- en instabiliteitsklachten, zoals een ijl gevoel in het hoofd en duizeligheid (met misselijkheid en braakneigingen), komen regelmatig voor in de klinische praktijk. De oorzaak van dergelijke stoornissen is niet altijd te situeren in het evenwichtsorgaan of in de projecties van en naar het centrale zenuwstelsel.

‘Out of the box’ denken is dan ook belangrijk, bepaalde aandoeningen vereisen immers een multidisciplinaire diagnostische én therapeutische aanpak.

Het symposium ‘Evenwichtsstoornissen: een theoretische en praktische multidisciplinaire aanpak’ benadert deze problematiek vanuit verschillende ooghoeken. Via presentaties en workshops zullen experts uit binnen- en buitenland een deskundig licht werpen op de zaak:
