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
University of Montana

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria3
- 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 Criteria5
- cervical spine disorders
- vertebral or carotid artery dissection
- blindness
- peripheral or central oculomotor palsy
- centrally mediated vestibular dysfunction

Interventions
Utilize wearable sensor technology to provide simple, precise measures of gaze and postural stability, as well as remote monitoring of patient adherence to vestibular exercises during a 6-week training period. Additionally, NIH Toolbox data will be used to display patient status compared to normative values and to indicate progress over time relative to measurement error.
