A vestibular stimulation system (30) and method that includes a housing (42), a power supply (32) disposed in the housing, an electrode assembly (38, 40) adapted to be coupled to the housing, and a controller (34) disposed in the housing and operatively coupled to the power supply. The controller controls the delivery of energy from the power supply to the electrode assembly. An input element (36, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58) is also disposed on an exterior surface of the housing. The input element is manually manipulated to control the operation of the vestibular stimulation system. A display (46) disposed on an exterior surface of the housing provides visual information regarding the operation of the vestibular stimulation system. A mounting assembly (62, 86, 92, 100, 106, 114, 122, 134, 140, 142, 180) is coupled to the housing to mount the housing on such a user. |
