Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the BrainPort balance device in improving balance and gait as measured by clinically accepted standardized balance assessments in subjects with peripheral vestibular dysfunction.

Conditions

  • Vestibular Diseases
  • Gait Disorders

Interventions

DEVICE

Training with the BrainPort balance device

Subjects are randomly assigned to one of two groups, the perceived stimulation group or the subliminal stimulation group. Some of these devices provide a stimulus that you can feel. Others provide a stimulus that is below conscious awareness. We are conducting this study to determine if one type of stimulation is more effective than the other.
