Vestibular Rehabilitation Aid
The tablet-based VestAid system was developed to repair, restore and maintain vestibular-ocular function that is impaired in patients post-mTBI. Each participant\'s treating physical therapist will develop their own personalized exercise prescription. The physical therapist will be asked to recommend that the patients complete a home exercise program at least 2-3 times per day for 6 weeks. The exercise prescription will be placed on the VestAid by the physical therapist for the patient to follow. The patient is not able to modify the exercise, only the physical therapist can modify the exercises. Exercises will be modified based on patient\'s response and symptom reports. The physical therapist and study coordinator will receive an alert on the VestAid online dashboard if the patient\'s symptoms are greater than or equal to 8/10.
Standard of care vestibular rehabilitation
