Summary

Prof. Mike Potegal is working on two projects that involve vestibular function. The first is a study of post-rotary nystagmus (PRN) as typically measured by occupational therapists. We have already determined that it is not a general measure of vestibular function because the duration of PRN is uncorrelated with the ability to balance in healthy young adults. However, some preliminary data suggest that PRN duration might correlate with a person’s ability to use vestibular input to guide their navigation through space (topographic orientation).
