How NODULUS Incorporates Velocity Storage & Gravitational Detection
NODULUS uses a progression-based rehabilitation model that combines advanced
diagnostics with targeted training to recalibrate both velocity storage and gravitational
awareness. The therapy is structured in stages, each building on the previous, to gradually
restore normal vestibular processing:
1. Perception & Proprioception Training: Patients begin with slow, manual exercises that heighten awareness of body position and movement. These controlled movements (often done with eyes closed or minimal visual input) emphasize feeling the pull of gravity and the body’s orientation. The goal is to refine the patient’s proprioception (sense of bodyposition) and basic gravitational detection, laying the groundwork for understanding upright positioning and balance.
2. Optokinetic & Vestibular Training (Motion6 Platform): Using specialized equipment (such as the Motion6 platform) and visual stimuli, patients undergo dynamic exercises that challenge the vestibular system. This may include gentle spinning or tilting motions combined with optokinetic stimulation (moving visual patterns). These exercises are designed to enhance velocity storage function by stimulating the vestibular system over longer durations and training the eyes to remain steady (improving gaze stabilization). Essentially, this stage pushes the VOR to adapt — extending its response and calibrating the brain’s timing of vestibular signals — while also engaging the otolith organs through head movements in different orientations.
3. Hand-Eye Coordination & Sensorimotor Integration: As patients improve, NODULUS adds tasks that integrate hand-eye coordination with vestibular challenges. For example, the patient might perform arm or head movements of varying speeds or in different positions relative to gravity (looking up, bending down, etc.) while tracking a target with their eyes or performing coordination drills. These drills reinforce the coupling between what the vestibular system senses (head motion, orientation) and the motor responses of the eyes and limbs. By practicing with varied velocities and body orientations, the brain learns to coordinate sensory input and motor output more effectively, reinforcing vestibular adaptation to both angular motion (velocitystorage) and linear/gravitational cues.
4. Fast Vestibular- Ocular Motion Training: In the final stages, patients engage in high- speed head and eye movement exercises. This might involve rapid head turns while focusing on a point (to challenge the VOR at higher velocities) or quick changes in body
orientation (to challenge gravitational righting reflexes).
5. Targeting electrical stimulation of the neck and lower extremities with movements and position holding utilizing Arpwave Direct current.
The high-speed training solidifies the compensation of the velocity storage mechanism — ensuring that even quick or repetitive head movements don’t cause dizziness or loss of visual focus — and also fine- tunes the brain’s alignment to gravity during dynamic movements. By the end of this stage, the patient’s vestibulo-ocular reflex and gravity sense are more robust and can handle daily life activities that involve complex motion.
Through these progressive steps, NODULUS gradually recalibrates the vestibular system. Early stages focus on awareness and basic reflex tuning, while later stages drive adaptation under more challenging conditions. Throughout, the integration of visual cues, proprioceptive feedback, and vestibular exercises ensures that improvements translate to real- world functional gains.
Utilizing the Vestibular Motion Pro
incorporating velocity storage and gravitational detection mechanisms into
neurological rehabilitation has opened a new frontier in functional neurology. NODULUS
provides a structured, science-driven approach that retrains the brain’s processing of motio and gravity signals, thereby optimizing motion perception, balance control, and gaze stability. Patients who undergo this rehabilitative program experience improvements in their ability to stay oriented, maintain clear vision during movement, and keep steady posture in the face of challenges. This innovative approach is transforming the way clinicians help patients recover from vestibular and neurological dysfunction, offering hope for faster and more complete recovery of function through targeted neural recalibration.
Through NODULUS’s progressive visual-vestibular and sensorimotor training, what was once an impaired system for detecting gravity, velocity, and position becomes a robust framework for everyday stability and orientation. This integration of traditional vestibular rehabilitation with cutting-edge concepts of velocity storage and otolith function exemplifies a comprehensive, holistic strategy to neurological recovery. It not only addresses symptoms but also fundamentally reshapes the neural pathways involved in balance and eye movement control, leading to long-lasting improvements in patients’ daily lives.
