What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sensitivity and specificity of crHIT-vertical
Time Frame: 9 months
How many participants are correctly identified as either having a vestibular dysfunction or being healthy controls
9 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Subject discomfort - symptoms
Time Frame: 9 months
Number of subjects indicating motion sickness symptoms during the crHIT test. If motion sickness is present subjects are asked to rate the symptoms of motion sickness and severity on scale 1 to 5, where 1 is minimum and 5 is severe.
9 months
Subject discomfort - test apparatus
Time Frame: 9 months
Subjects rate the comfort of chair, head rest and goggle on scale 1 to 5, where 1 is very uncomfortable and 5 very comfortable.
9 months
