Stationary Bike Study

The Effect of Vestibular and Exertion Training on Gait, Balance and Dizziness in Individuals With Concussion

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 27 (actual)
• Sponsor: NYU Langone Health · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 70 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Investigators will use a stationary bike protocol to investigate whether patients with post concussion syndrome benefit from adding exertion training to a vestibular rehabilitation program. Investigators examine the effect of aerobic exercise testing and training on individuals with concussion who are currently experiencing symptoms and examine the effect of aerobic exercise in combination with traditional vestibular rehabilitation.

Detailed description

This is a randomized controlled single blind pilot study testing the hypothesis that the combination of aerobic exercise plus vestibular rehabilitation will result in greater reduction of symptoms of dizziness and imbalance compared to vestibular rehabilitation alone.

Conditions

• Vertigo
• Concussion
• Dizziness

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Vestibular Rehabilitation + Aerobic Exercise	Subjects in the experimental group will undergo traditional Vestibular Rehabilitation as well as participate in an aerobic exercise training program.
OTHER	Vestibular Rehabilitation	The control group will receive standard care which includes participation in vestibular physical therapy treatments 1-2 times per week.
