To investigate cardiovascular and hemodynamic responses in both static and dynamic motion stimuli in persons with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and chronic mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), participants with POTS and mTBI (n = 10) were compared to healthy controls (n = 10)....

Discussion
Signed responses from readers of the wire.
No actionable change for audiology practice at this stage; findings are preliminary and primarily relevant to vestibular-autonomic researchers rather than frontline audiologists.
Understanding how autonomic cardiovascular dysfunction interacts with vestibular motion processing in mTBI-POTS patients could inform future multidisciplinary vestibular rehabilitation protocols.
- 01Study examines cardiovascular/hemodynamic responses to static and dynamic visual motion in POTS patients with mild TBI.
- 02POTS is characterized by abnormal heart-rate increases upon standing; mTBI may compound vestibular and autonomic dysfunction.
- 03Both static and dynamic stimuli were used to disentangle motion-specific hemodynamic effects.
- 04Findings are relevant to vestibular-autonomic research and multidisciplinary dizziness clinics.
- 05Clinical audiology implications are indirect at this time.
Persons with POTS and mild TBI show measurable hemodynamic responses to both static and dynamic visual motion stimuli.
