Dynamic Neck Function During Gait in Patients With Dizziness

NCT04626544 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 110

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to explore the possible association between dizziness and head-on trunk-movements and thus, neck movement and if this differs to healthy controls. Additional, the study will examine the reliability and validity of using wearable accelerometers to examine how the head moves relative to the trunk and to collect normative data on head on trunk movement.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Body-worn inertial sensors

The device typically includes accelerometers that capture body accelerations in three directions (anteroposteriorly, mediolaterally and vertically) and gyrometers that capture rotations (yaw, pitch and roll). The method of measuring gait using body-worn inertial sensors has been found reliable \[15\] and valid \[20\]. This project will use Opal sensors and the Mobility Lab software from the manufacturer APDM (https://www.apdm.com/wearable-sensors/).
