Patients with dizziness will be recruited from a ear-nose and throat clinic. After giving written consent the patients will be tested with wearable sensors on their occiput and C6 vertebra during gait. Healthy controls will be recruited from students and employees at the Western Norway University of Applied Science and go through the same protocol as the patients. The investigators will measure the relationship between the two sensors to explore how patients with dizziness move their-on-trunk during gait. The projects main hypothesis is that patient with dizziness have reduced attenuation of gait-associated head oscillations with increased coupling of head-on-trunk motion, compared to healthy controls. The neck does not compensate for trunk movements, causing the head to follow the movement of the trunk.
