Study Summary
Veterans are at heightened risk of developing cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) from rigors of military service. Balance and posturography are negatively affected in CSM, but require expensive equipment, and extensive training of personnel for data acquisition and interpretation. The Virtual Environment TBI Screen (VETS) is a simple and inexpensive construct that could be implemented as an aid in diagnosis and as an objective means to compare treatment modalities and track recovery. The goal for the SPiRE is to generate the critical data to support rigorous Merit studies of posturography for assessments of clinical course in the treatment and rehabilitation of CSM. The investigators' ultimate goal, if the SPiRE is successful, is to phase in objective posturography assessments as VA standard of care in CSM.
Primary Outcome
The postural stability task involves six conditions during which Veterans are instructed to look straight ahead and maintain an upright stance as stably as possible. Veterans are barefooted with feet comfortably placed \~25 cm apart. The six conditions are (1) Eyes Open (EO) Firm (2) Eyes Closed (EC) Firm, (3) Dynamic Scene (DYN) Firm, (4) EO Foam, (5) EC Foam, and (6) DYN Foam. a) Comparison of CSM vs. Control and within-subject visual (EO,EC, and DYN) and surface conditions (FIRM and FOAM). b)
