Head shake posturography, a test for vestibular function, shows promise in detecting age-related performance decline. This modified protocol aims to improve accuracy in identifying peripheral vestibular system asymmetries.

Area of Science:

  • Vestibular Neuroscience
  • Clinical Audiology
  • Human Aging Research

Background:

  • Head shake posturography may enhance sensitivity for detecting peripheral vestibular system asymmetry.
  • Previous head shake protocols had limitations, preventing usable performance data.
  • A modified protocol is needed to address these limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test a modified head shake protocol for Sensory Organization Test (SOT).
  • To address limitations of previous head shake posturography methods.
  • To assess the efficacy of head shake SOT in a diverse age group.

Main Methods:

  • Forty participants (20-79 years) without dizziness history were tested.
  • Standard SOT Conditions 2 and 5 were used on EquiTest equipment.

  • Participants completed tasks with head still and during horizontal head movements.

    • Main Results:

    • Participant performance was characterized by the slope of a linear regression fit.
    • A significant negative correlation was found between performance slope and age (r = -.52, p = .0006).
    • The head shake modification showed a trend toward increased age-related performance separation.

    Conclusions:

    • The head shake modification trended towards improved separation of individuals by age.
    • This modification appears to overcome limitations of prior head shake protocols.
    • Future research will focus on using this modification to identify peripheral vestibular asymmetries.
