Evaluating a Portable Virtual Reality (VR) Balance Test as a Vestibular Assessment Screen

Abstract

This is a collaborative effort between teams at The Ohio State University (OSU) and the Naval Medical Research Unit Dayton (NAMRUD). This effort proposes observational trials to evaluate a semi-portable balance test. Each installation will be equipped with the balance assessment tools and vestibular test facilities to collect data from samples for each of the aims (detailed below). Ultimately the goal is that a portable, virtual balance system will be validated for use in laboratory, clinical, and operational settings as a screening tool for vestibular insult and injury.
