入选标准

  • a.Probable diagnosis of Bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) (determined by a neurologist, ENT consultant, GP, audiologist or specialist vestibular clinic).
  • b.Self-reported unsteadiness when walking
  • plus either
  • oscillopsia during walking or quick head/body movements or
  • worsening of balance in darkness or on uneven ground.
  • c.No symptoms when sitting or lying under static conditions (self-reported)
  • d.Aged between 18 and 80 years
  • After consent participants will undertake a vestibular assessment to ensure they meet the clinical criteria for BVP of
  • Bilaterally reduced vestibular function indicated by either
  • a.Horizontal angular VOR gain (<0.8) measured by video Head Impulse Testing or
  • b.Reduced caloric response (sum of bithermal maximal peak slow phase velocity on each side <6 degrees per second).
  • Participants who do not meet the clinical criteria for BVP will finish the study here.

排除标准

  • Participants will be excluded from the study if they have:
  • a. They have any evidence of CNS involvement including hereditary ataxias or brain stem/ cerebellar abnormalities, or any central eye movement abnormalities or previously diagnosed neurological condition. (Participants will be screened by staff at the clinics they are recruited via).
  • b.Unable to stand independently for 5 minutes or ambulate for 10m without aid
  • c.Individuals who are medically required to restrict their head movement
  • d.Metal implants in the head or neck such as cochlea implants, clips, coilings, shunts or endoprosthesis
  • e.Pacemaker or implanted defibrillator
  • f.Previous open skull surgery or trepanation
  • g.Broken skin in the region of electrode placement
