Vestibular and Oculomotor Research Clinic, or VORC, is located in the UAB School of Optometry.

Jennifer Christy, PhD, is one of the lead researchers at VORC. The VORC houses state of the art equipment to objectively and comprehensively test vestibular, oculomotor and balance function. Currently, we are investigating behavioral biomarkers for concussion and vestibular/oculomotor function in children with cerebral palsy and congenital cytomegalovirus. We are also developing innovative interventions to treat children and adults who have vestibular related impairments.
