Somatosensory loss increases vestibulospinal sensitivity.
To determine whether subjects with somatosensory loss show a compensatory increase in sensitivity to vestibular stimulation, we compared the amplitude of postural lean in response to four different intensities of bipolar galvanic stimulation in subjects with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PNP) and age-matched control subjects. To determine whether healthy and neuropathic subjects show similar ...
متن کاملEffects of Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation on Statokinesigrams of the Elderly
Special suits have been designed to simulate the physical functions of the elderly. However, it has been suggested that these suits do not simulate the postural instability that is actually observed in elderly subjects. We consider that postural instability in the elderly is caused by anomalous signals in the vestibules. In this study, we have verified this hypothesis by using galvanic vestibul...
متن کاملAnalysis on Effects of Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation on Postural Stability using 3D Motion Analysis
This paper presents the analysis on effects of GVS(Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation) to mastoid process on postural balance and stability using 3 dimensional motion analysis. The experiments were performed by providing the experimental subjects a bipolar binaural galvanic vestibular stimulation during standing and walking, and then the postural stability was evaluated by 3 dimensional motion ana...
متن کاملVelocity of body lean evoked by leg muscle vibration potentiate the effects of vestibular stimulation on posture.
To investigate the vestibular and somatosensory interaction in human postural control, a galvanic vestibular stimulation of cosine bell shape resulting in a small forward or backward body lean was paired with three vibrations of both soleus muscles. The induced body lean was registered by the position of the center of foot pressure (CoP). During a quiet stance with eyes closed the vibration of ...
متن کاملShort and long-term postural learning to withstand galvanic vestibular perturbations.
We investigated changes of postural responses to repeated bipolar galvanic vestibular stimulation on 5 consecutive days and once again after 3 months. Subjects consisted of 21 healthy volunteers. Except for the first day did the induced torque variance in response to galvanic vestibular stimulation not decrease within each test session, but there was a major reduction from day to day (p< 0.001)...
