Abstract
A method of assessing the balance impairment of a subject includes the steps of presenting the subject with a static scene on a display, collecting a first set of orientation measurements, presenting the subject with an unstable scene on a display, collecting a second set of orientation measurements, storing the first and second sets of orientation measurements on a computing device, referenced to a set of time indices, and calculating a balance score for the subject by comparing the second set of orientation measurements with the first set of orientation measurements. A system for assessing the balance impairment of a subject is also disclosed.
