A Study to Evaluate Quantitative Phenotypes of Movement Disorders
Jacksonville, FL
The purpose of this study is to determine if adaptive rhythmic auditory stimulation (ARAS) is a safe means of improving gait; i.e., fewer falls, abrupt accelerations/decelerations in patients with movement disorders. Furthermore, we aim to provide patients with a safe environment in which they can safely navigate through an enjoyable experience (guided art tour) that provides exercise, social engagement, and exposure to art.

A Study of Factors That Predispose, Promote, and Perpetuate Post-Traumatic Dizziness
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether recent, groundbreaking discoveries about key pathophysiologic processes that drive chronic dizziness in patients without traumatic brain injury (TBI9,10) are applicable to patients with post-mTBI vestibular disability. We expect the results of this project to have practical clinical and research applications, providing novel data for two future steps:
