Novel Assessment Devices to Quantify Vestibular Function and Their Relationship to Clinical Scales

This study introduces three new robotic platforms aimed at investigating the performance of subjects affected by vestibular diseases while providing i) balance perturbations in horizontal directions while subjects carry out daily motor tasks (SENLY), ii) pure linear vestibular system stimuli in vertical direction (Up-Down Chair) and iii) pure rotational vestibular system stimuli in roll, pitch and yaw directions (Oscillating Chair).
