Making INformed Decisions in Gaze and Postural Stability: A Pilot Feasibility Study

Making INformed Decisions in Gaze and Postural Stability (MINDGAPS): A Novel System for Improving Personalized Care and Patient Adherence in Vestibular Rehabilitation

Who can join

Ages 40 and older · All sexes

Inclusion Criteria:

* Reports issues with dizziness or imbalance
* Ability to stand independently
* Presence of peripheral vestibular hypofunction as indicated by examination with video nystagmography, video head impulse testing, or dynamic visual acuity testing.

Exclusion Criteria:

* cervical spine disorders
* vertebral or carotid artery dissection
* blindness
* peripheral or central oculomotor palsy
* centrally mediated vestibular dysfunction

About the study

The proposed research is relevant to vestibular science and the general public because age-related vestibular hypofunction is a major contributor to poor balance, falls, and other adverse health outcomes. In this investigation the investigators will: 1) assess the preliminary efficacy of a novel intervention system for improving vestibular function and dizziness in community-dwelling older adults, 2) assess the safety and feasibility of the this system, and 3) assess the acceptability and implementation potential of this system, prior to a large-scale, R01-level investigation.
