The role of visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems in postural balance
We recommend the thesis prepared under our supervision by The integration of visual, vestibular, and somatosensory components are used to maintain one's postural balance. Postural control changes over time and body sway increases with age. The different sensory systems begin to develop and refine starting when children are young, while in older adults it begins to decline. Hence, it is importan...
متن کاملVisual postural performance after loss of somatosensory and vestibular function.
Visual stabilisation of body sway in a patient with severe deficits of the vestibular system (due to gentamicin treatment) and the somatosensory system (due to polyneuropathy) was studied. With eyes open the patient was able to stand and walk slowly. With eyes closed he lost balance within one second. In order to optimise visual stabilisation he intuitively searched for nearby visual targets. H...
متن کاملSensory and motor differences between young and older adults: somatosensory contribution to postural control.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the sensory and motor systems and the contributions of possible differences to postural control. METHODS Twenty older adults (68.9+/-3.7 years of age) and twenty young adults (21.9+/-2.1 years of age) underwent visual, somatosensory (tactile and kinesthetic sensitivity), motor tests (joint torque and muscle activation latency)...
متن کاملFalls and postural control in older adults with cataracts
Background: There is increasing evidence that visual impairment contribute to falling. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of vision impairment of old adult patients with cataract on the occurrence of falls and postural control. Methods:According to the results of screening ophthalmic examination, 48 cataract patients (mean±SD aged 68.5 ± 6.08 yrs.) and 50 individuals withou...
متن کاملAssessment of Balance Recovery Strategies During Manipulation of Somatosensory, Vision, and Vestibular Systems in Deaf Persons
Purpose: Sensory systems play an essential role in motor control. The lack of information about each of these systems can affect postural sway. This study aimed to assess balance recovery during the manipulation of somatosensory, visual, and vestibular systems in deaf persons. Methods: Thirty healthy and deaf subjects were selected as samples. Balance recovery strategies in various situations ...
