Official title Effects of Vestibular Training on Postural Control of Healthy Adults Using Virtual Reality
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05941039
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Postural instability is a common symptom of vestibular dysfunction that impacts a person's day-to-day activities. Vestibular rehabilitation is effective in decreasing dizziness, visual symptoms and improving postural control through several mechanisms including sensory reweighting.

Who can take part
Ages 18 to 35. Healthy volunteers may be eligible.
You may be able to join if
- Able to stand independently (without an assistive device)
- This study requires participants to perform postural assessments including reactive balance following mechanical perturbations.
- Participants will also perform headshake activities and weight shift training in standing for 20 mins will mini breaks.
- Participants must be within the age of 18-35.
- A power analysis revealed that a sample of 24 participants will required for a two-group comparison to detect a significant difference at alpha=0.05...

- Neuropathic conditions, particularly affecting the lower extremities. Participants with this issue will have sensory impairments which can affect their sensory assessment.
- Current musculoskeletal deficits including significant postural abnormalities (signs of spinal, pelvic and leg length discrepancies).
- Pain or limitations in neck range of motion.
- Recent (within 6 months) orthopedic surgery that impacts postural training.
- Visual Impairment
- Participants must be able to see and follow targets on the computer monitor. Therefore, people must have 20/50 (corrected) vision. people who are blind cannot participate.
