By the end of Weekend 1, participants will be able to:
Describe the functional anatomy of the cerebellum, including vestibulo-, spino-, and cerebrocerebellar zones and their associated deep nuclei and pathways.
Differentiate lateral, midline, and hemispheric cerebellar deficits based on clinical patterns and examination findings.
Analyze cerebellar control of eye movements including saccades, smooth pursuit, and VOR cancellation.
Perform a comprehensive cerebellar bedside examination evaluating dysmetria, rebound, coordination, timing, balance, and eye–head control.
Interpret case presentations to localize cerebellar involvement in TBI, stroke, and ataxia.
Apply principles of cerebellar rehabilitation including error-based learning, timing, oscillation, and variability.
Design and implement cerebellar activation exercises based on midline vs hemispheric needs and graded demand.
Integrate neuromodulation tools (PBM, tVNS/tTNS, motor-auditory pairing) with cerebellar rehab principles.
Construct 15–20 minute rehabilitation circuits utilizing dual-tasking, balance progressions, timing drills, and oculomotor integration.
Create patient-specific treatment plans for stroke, concussion, and developmental coordination disorders.
