Medical device for therapeutic stimulation of the vestibular system

A vestibular stimulation device comprising:

• a holder member adapted to hold a living subject;
• a platform;
• a mechanical system operably coupling the holder member to the platform such that the mechanical system is capable of moving the holder member in one or more directions relative to the platform;
• one or more sensors adapted to be associated with the living subject and detect one or more parameters of the living subject;
• and
• a computing system having a user input and/or output interface operably coupled to the mechanical system and the one or more sensors so as to provide mechanical data to the mechanical system in order to control movement of the holder member relative to the platform and to collect the one or more parameters of the living subject from the one or more sensors, wherein the mechanical system includes a linear motor and a glider track configured to move the holder member linearly with respect to the platform in one or more sinusoidal movement patterns under control of the computing system.
