Exploring persistent complaints of imbalance after mTBI: Oculomotor, peripheral vestibular and central sensory integration function.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known on the peripheral and central sensory contributions to persistent dizziness and imbalance following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

Objective

To identify peripheral vestibular, central integrative, and oculomotor causes for chronic symptoms following mTBI.

Methods

Individuals with chronic mTBI symptoms and healthy controls (HC) completed a battery of oculomotor, peripheral vestibular and instrumented posturography evaluations and rated subjective symptoms on validated questionnaires. We defined abnormal oculomotor, peripheral vestibular, and central sensory integration for balance measures among mTBI participants as falling outside a 10-percentile cutoff determined from HC data. A X-squared test associated the proportion of normal and ab
