We want to use this lightweight, portable device to assess vestibular dysfunction in Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and also eye movement accuracy (saccade accuracy). We have ongoing prospective research to assess manifestations of TBI in Veterans and also to assess changes over time and in response to vestibular therapy. This video-based goggle device would be ideal for outpatient testing of Veterans, especially with those that have vestibular and eye movement symptoms from TBI, multiple sclerosis and stroke to the brainstem area. Impulse Monocular Video Frenzel Lightweight USB goggles with advanced modular software that allows recording of the eye with high-resolution image quality. Modular, customizable balance assessment solution that gives more ways to help patients with vestibular disorders. Record eye movement with vision or vision denied (eliminating fixation). Room video records in grayscale or color. Video frenzel goggles enable you to monitor the elapsed time with a recording indicator and start and stop recording using a presentation remote control. You can also display the eye video on a separate external monitor and the laptop. Ability to play back eye and room recordings synchronously. Play back at normal speed and slow motion. Identify which video contains what information at a glance. Add a remark or note to the video to help you identify the test being performed whether it is spontaneous nystagmus, gaze or positional. Add an indicator to any video that can alert you if the data is unique or of particular interest. Create customized reports, share and store data easily using Otosuite Vestibular reporting and proprietary Otosuite Vestibular database and data sharing. Lateral Head Impulse ICS Impulse is the only vHIT system validated in the horizontal planes and approved by head impulse testing industry pioneers, Drs. Halmagyi and Curthoys. It provides quick, clear-cut side of lesion specific assessment of the vestibule-ocular reflex response to stimuli in the high-frequency range, the natural range of head movements.

It is the only test that can assess all six semicircular canals Monocular Oculomotor Limited The oculomotor module from ICS Impulse delivers the oculomotor tests you need to determine central and peripheral disorders, including: Gaze   the ability to assess for both gaze-evoked nystagmus and spontaneous nystagmus. These tests can be performed with vision or with vision denied. Visual VOR (Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex) and VOR Suppression (VORS) tests to identify the presence or absence of saccadic eye movement. The unique design of the goggles presents the suppression stimulus from the goggles in order to assess VORS in any location. Skew deviation  assesses the patient s ocular alignment by identifying if ocular misalignment occurs because of covering and uncovering the eye.
