Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * general good health
  • * general good health
  • * specific unilateral or bilateral vestibular loss
  • * subjects who are institutionalized or otherwise not self-sufficient.
  • * enduring sequelae due to diseases of the nervous system, eyes, ears, head and neck, and limbs, except for changes commensurate with normal aging (e.g. presbyacusic hearing loss, mild cataract, etc.).
  • * abnormal cognitive function, which if in question can be determined as a score of \<27 on the Mini-Mental State test.
  • * corrected visual acuity worse than 20/20 up to age 65, worse than 20/40 if \>65
  • * abnormal binocular stereo-acuity or visual fields.
  • * any defects in cranial nerve, oculomotor, cerebellar/coordination, and somatosensory functions.
  • * any abnormal oculomotor and vestibular function (caloric tests)
  • * Inability to perform the study tasks due to sensory, motor, or postural limitations
