No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the study to is determine the safety, feasibility, efficacy, and persistence of non-invasive EVS to improve balance and gait performance in healthy individuals across the lifespan. Specifically, our objective is to measure balance and gait performance before, during and after exposure to single sessions and across repeated sequences of EVS at multiple study partner sites.

Conditions

  • Vestibulopathy

Interventions

DEVICE

electrical vestibular stimulation (EVS)

EVS involves electrically activating the vestibular nerves by passing small electrical currents through electrodes placed on the mastoid processes (behind the ears) via battery powered, constant current isolated stimulators.

DEVICE

Sham Comparator

No current is applied during EVS treatment
