Invent VPT Trial: Incremental Velocity Error as a New Treatment in Vestibular Rehabilitation

Abstract

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare traditional measures of vestibular rehabilitation (VPT) against a novel device (IVE) developed by the PI (Schubert) that has been shown to improve vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) function. We will examine critical dosing related questions in delivering vestibular rehabilitation for active duty service members with mild traumatic brain injury and civilians with vestibular hypofunction - both of which will be treated for rehabilitation given symptoms related to having a vestibular disorder. Data collection has started, all IRB approvals have been secured although amendments are pending. A manuscript describing the protocol has been accepted for publication.
