Contextual sensory integration training vs. traditional vestibular rehabilitation: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Background: We created a clinical virtual reality application for vestibular rehabilitation. Our app targets contextual sensory integration (C.S.

Contextual sensory integration training via head mounted display for individuals with vestibular disorders: a feasibility study.

Purpose: Virtual reality (VR) interventions can simulate real-world sensory environments. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of a novel VR application (app) developed for a Head Mounted Display (HMD) to target dizziness, imbalance and sensory integration in a functional context for patients with vestibular disorders. Here we describe the design of the app as well as self-reported and functional outcomes in vestibular patients before and after participating in vestibular rehabilitation using the app.

Special tools for the assessment of balance and dizziness in individuals with mild traumatic brain injury.

Introduction: Although a majority of patients following minor traumatic brain injury recover to their pre-morbid functional level, persistent activity and participation limitations can occur in the refractory patient. These long-term consequences of brain injury may only become apparent months to years after the injury. In order to quantify these long-term sequella, laboratory, clinical and functional outcome measures may not only identify needed areas of treatment, but may also assist in determining the impact of the treatment on the individuals function.
