This project examines human balance function in subjects with vestibular Schwannoma, a slow growing tumor that presents with hearing loss and imbalance. We will measure inner ear balance function using 2 new non invasive tests called the video head impulse and the vestibular evoked myogenic potential. We will seek test parameters that predict tumor growth, explore reasons for post surgical imbalance, develop and validate home-based rehabilitation methods to optimise balance after surgery.

这个项目检查了前庭神经鞘瘤患者的人体平衡功能，这是一种生长缓慢的肿瘤，表现为听力损失和失衡。我们将使用两种新的非侵入性测试来测量内耳平衡功能，即视频头部冲动和前庭诱发肌源性电位。我们将寻求预测肿瘤生长的测试参数，探索手术后失衡的原因，开发和验证基于家庭的康复方法以优化手术后的平衡。
