The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), VISN 5 Network Contracting Office, is seeking sources that can provide the components for a sensorimotor dynamic response measurement system for the VAMHCS. The VA Maryland Health Care System Research & Development Service is requesting a Sensorimotor Dynamic Response Measurement System. The balance system measures the signal transmission delays between sensory neurons (tactile sensation, proprioception, vestibulation and vision) in the periphery and the centers in the brain that process them; the follow-on transmission delays between the motor control centers of the brain and the musculature; and finally the response dynamics of the associated centers of the brain and the musculature. This information can serve as a quantitative measure of an older individual s balance capability compared with the performance of young healthy individuals with no deficits. The Contractor shall provide the components for the above-mentioned sensorimotor dynamic response measurement system.
