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.

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.

Medical Research, Diagnosis & Treatment contains studies of existing and developing diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, as well as specific classes of clinical intervention. Resources in this category emphasize the difference between normal and disease states, with the ultimate goal of more effective diagnosis and intervention. Specific areas of interest include pathology and histochemical analysis of tissue, clinical chemistry and biochemical analysis of medical samples, diagnostic imaging, radiology and radiation, surgical research, anesthesiology and anesthesia, transplantation, artificial tissues, and medical implants. Resources focused on the disease, diagnosis, and treatment of specific organs or physiological systems are excluded and are covered in the Medical Research: Organs & Systems category.
