A system for creating an eye-movement record that is useful for diagnosing balance disorders of a patient includes a head-mounted unit having an indicator which generates head position signals. Also included is a computer/controller for progressing the patient through a sequence of predetermined head orientations. An imaging unit in the head-mounted unit is used to create an eye-movement record for each head orientation, and the records are then archived in a recorder. With instructions from the patient, a de-identified eye-movement record can be sent to selected regional specialists for further evaluation and possible treatment.
