HEAD IMPULSE TESTING DEVICE FOR ASSESSING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SEMICIRCULAR CANALS AND FOR THE REHABILITATION OF VESTIBULAR LOSS
Patent
Publication Date:
2009
abstract:
The device allows: 1) the evaluation of the function of each individual semicircular canal over a range of head accelerations based on the ability to stabilize the visual scene during head impulse tests and 2) the rehabilitation of vestibular function through an adaptive algorithm constantly challenging the vestibular stabilization system and thus promote adaptive compensatory mechanisms.
