Vestibular Goggles From the Pink Ladies
The Physiotherapy team were lucky enough to receive a generous donation from the Pink La- dies to purchase a pair of Vestibular Goggles. Vestibular ailments are common in the commu- nity, and often occurs due to issues with the in- ner ear. This can cause extreme dizziness, un- steadiness and nausea. The physiotherapy team at Ryde Hospital is currently working on a project to boost our therapists knowledge and skills to treat this condition and these goggles will give us a critical advantage. The goggles can record and project a patients (or Pink Lady in this case) eye movements whilst we move their head to assess them. This will allow our staff to more accurately assess and treat vestibular impairments and use old recordings to train new staff!
