Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is used to treat dizziness after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and relies on patients to independently perform a prescribed home exercise program (HEP). Barriers to this approach include impaired cervical proprioception that may impact ability to position the head and trunk and self-limiting movements to avoid symptoms. Wearable sensors may aid clinical assessment and performance monitoring, improving rehabilitation efficacy during HEP. The purpose of this study is to determine if 1) wearable sensor technology is a reliable measure for performance of VR exercises and 2) there are differences in exercise performance between controls and mTBI.
