Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Vibrotactile feedback (VTF) is a strategy of substitution, or augmentation, to replace disrupted or absent vestibular function. The sensory information replaces disrupted or absent vestibular function to give persons additional signals about their body position in space. Real-time VTF applied to the trunk has been shown to decrease postural sway but the long-term benefits of training with VTF on balance and function have not been examined.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Vibrotactile Feedback
Balance exercises completed while vibration was applied to the trunk (anterior, posterior, right, and left) if postural sway exceeded a pre-determined threshold during the exercise.
Vibrotactile Feedback
Balance training Vibrotactile feedback applied to the trunk
Without Vibrotactile Feedback
Balance training without feedback
No interventions assigned to this group
