Study Summary

This trial will test a new training method to help people with vestibular dysfunction improve their balance, dizziness & visual symptoms. Young healthy participants will wear a VR headset & overhead harness with a spotter present.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy adults aged 18-35 who can stand independently and have no recent history of concussion, vestibular or balance issues, neuropathic conditions affecting the legs, orthopedic surgery impacting posture, visual impairments worse than 20/50 vision (corrected), or significant musculoskeletal deficits.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a new type of vestibular training using virtual reality to improve postural control. Participants will undergo headshake activities with weight shift training in VR to see if it's more effective than traditional methods in enhancing balance and sensory reweighting.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly listed, potential side effects may include dizziness or nausea due to VR use, temporary disorientation from the vestibular exercises, and fatigue from standing during the training sessions.
