Making INformed Decisions in Gaze and Postural Stability: A Pilot Feasibility Study
Sponsor: University of Montana
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.

Interventions
MINDGAPS
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.
