Filter by:The goal of this pilot study is to assess the safety and feasibility of the immersive virtual reality system called DizzyVR in participants diagnosed with a vestibular disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To assess the feasibility, usability and safety of the system DizzyVR for the vestibular rehabilitation in participants with vestibular disorders. - To detect and record possible adverse events due to the use of DizzyVR. - To examine the degree of adherence of the participants to the intervention. - To know the average success rate of the different games in each session. - To evaluate the average difficulty levels overcome throughout the intervention. - To know the usability and satisfaction with the system reported by participants and therapists. Participants will receive the vestibular rehabilitation based on the novel immersive virtual systema, DizzyVR.
A randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of an app-assisted vestibular rehabilitation in increasing adherence to VR and treatment outcomes
The goal of this comparative pilot study is to provide evidence that Praxis, a portable testbed with low-cost wearable sensors and a mixed reality environment, can deliver effective multisensory rehabilitation exercises with military face-validity in a military service member (SM) population after mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI). The main questions this comparative pilot study aims to answer are: - Can the Praxis testbed provide feasible/acceptable 4-week multisensory rehabilitation for SMs with post-acute mTBI? - Can Praxis detect and influence measurable changes in readiness performance during mTBI recovery? Fifteen SMs with post-acute mTBI from the Center for the Intrepid's Special Operations Performance and Recovery (SPaR) Program will participate in the multisensory vestibular rehabilitation regimen. These SMs will go through 4 weeks of multisensory vestibular rehabilitation including: - gaze stabilization - dual-task balance training - spatial navigation - agility training Data from another fifteen SMs, who will not go through the multisensory rehabilitation regimen and will receive supervised cardiovascular exercise, will be used as the control group. Researchers will compare the Praxis and Control group to determine if the Praxis group shows improvement over the control group with respect to the military-relevant behavioral performance outcomes and patient-reported symptom scores after the end of the rehabilitation.
This randomized clinical trial will occur at Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur within 7 months after the approval of synopsis. The sample size for this trial will be 40 participants. Participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be recruited by using the convenience sampling randomly allocated into two groups by computer generator method. 20 participants will be assigned to Group A receiving gaze stability exercises and 20 to the Group B receiving optokinetic exercises, both alongside routine physical therapy. Each group will undergo 5 weekly sessions of treatment for 4 weeks.The assessment tools include Dizziness Handicap Inventory for dizziness; Mini-BESTest and modified-Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction of Balance for balance assessment while Vestibular Disorders Activities of Daily Living Scale for daily activities.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the impact of a continuous vibrotactile feedback belt on balance, (fear of) falling, fatigue and overall functioning in participants with chronic disabling unilateral vestibular hypofunction. The main questions it aims to answer are: • does wearing a vibrotactile feedback belt during waking hours for a week improve sense of balance and mobility, fear of falling, fatigue and overall functioning • does wearing a vibrotactile feedback belt influence static and dynamic balance and gait performance during balance and gait testing. Participants will goes through different phases in an randomized order; a baseline phase, a sham phase (i.e., wearing the BalanceBelt while it is switched off) and an intervention phase (i.e., wearing the BalanceBelt while it is switched on). It is expected that, just as with patients with bilateral loss of the balance organ, patients with a unilateral loss will also benefit from the BalanceBelt.
This study will examine whether impairments and personal factors are associated with activity and participation in people with vestibulopathy. Data collection will occur prior to starting vestibular rehabilitation and after completing vestibular rehabilitation.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the vestibular function in children with unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The main hypothesis of the study is that abnormal vestibular test results will be found in 20-30 % of the children with sensorineural hearing loss. The participants will be children in the age of 3-10 years with sensorineural hearing loss. The test protocol consists of questionnaires and vestibular and postural assessments.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the vestibular function in children suspected of balance disorders, and to follow up on their balance progressions after rehabilitation. The main hypothesis of the study is that delayed gross motor development and symptoms of dizziness and balance problems in some children are caused by vestibular dysfunction. The investigators expect that early detection and rehabilitation by a physiotherapist will improve the balance ability for the child. The participants will be children in the age of 6 months to 10 years with delayed gross motor development and/or with dizziness/balance problems. The test protocol consists of questionnaires, hearing screening and vestibular and postural assessments.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the short-term effect of a structured, combined postural control and gaze stabilisation protocol (VIS-REHAB protocol) in a group of vestibular-impaired children of different age categories (3-17 years). The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the short-term effect of the VIS-REHAB protocol? - What are the most important factors that may influence the effect of and outcome after application of the VIS-REHAB protocol? The participant will undergo both an active rehabilitation program (VIS-REHAB protocol) and a period during which physical therapy is discontinued (CTRL protocol).: - VIS-REHAB protocol: Postural control (static and dynamic postural stability exercises), gaze stability exercises (oculomotor function and VOR-exercises) & general gross motor training with focus on gaze stability and postural control. Researchers will compare the VIS-REHAB protocol with receiving no therapy (CTRL protocol) to evaluate potential enhancements in postural stability, gaze stability, motor performance and quality of life.
