Researchers at Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan conducted a study to explore the use of wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) for assessing movement in Romberg tests in adults with vestibular hypofunction (VH). The study found that individuals with bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH) exhibited higher levels of movement in head and pelvic movements compared to healthy controls. The findings suggest that kinematic body metrics measured by IMUs can be useful for screening BVH and providing goals for vestibular rehabilitation. The study was funded by the National Science And Technology Council of Taiwan, Academia Sinica, and Taipei Veterans General Hospital. [Extracted from the article]
