VOR Suppression in Non-Gymnast Adults

NCT03227718 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 12

Last updated 2017-10-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The researchers hypothesize that there is a correlation between Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) performance and innate athletic skill level. A similar study was conducted in female, young adult gymnasts where a correlation was shown between VOR performance and gymnastic skill level. However, the results from this study did not suggest that VOR differences develop as a result of practice; rather that the differences in VOR may simply allow some individuals to become better performers. In this study the researchers would like to extend the population to adults both with and without a background in gymnastics to determine the natural relationship between VOR and innate athletic potential.
