Virtual Reality for Vestibular Rehabilitation

Poor vestibular system development is quite widespread. Current research is aimed to identify if training in an adaptive version of Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises for virtual reality headsets is more effective than training without any special equipment. As a result, there was created an application for HTC Vive Pro with adapted exercises for vestibular system training. The experiment lasted for two weeks for two groups of people where each group contained 7 patients. For the assessment, there was used stabilometric platform to check biological feedback on the support reaction. The results showed that the group training in the virtual reality application achieved better improvements.
