Vestibular disorders cause significant global healthcare costs, driven by the ageing population, which creates a need for improved diagnostic methods. Neuromuscular response is essential for maintaining balance and achieving optimal athletic performance. A new family of biomarkers, particularly NVL (Neuromuscular Vestibular Latency), offers a means of quantitatively measuring the involuntary response speed of the nervous and muscular systems.
The VESTI project applies a novel balance assessment method and electrical vestibular stimulation to develop new biomarkers and the associated measurement technology.
