Habituation to Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation during Gait
Balance requires the integration of proprioceptive, visual, and vestibular sensory inputs. Contributions from the vestibular system are increasingly important when other sensory signals are lacking or erroneous [1]. Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS), the application of a small electrical current across the mastoid processes, has been used to apply a stimulus to the vestibular system indepen...
متن کاملGalvanic Stimulation of the Vestibular Periphery in Guinea Pigs During
23 Irregular vestibular afferents exhibit significant phase leads with respect to angular velocity of 24 the head in space. This characteristic and their connectivity with vestibulospinal neurons 25 suggest a functionally important role for these afferents in producing the vestibulo-collic 26 reflex (VCR). A goal of these experiments was to test this hypothesis using weak galvanic 27 stimulatio...
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 کاملEffects of galvanic vestibular stimulation on postural limb reflexes
25 26 Quadrupeds maintain the dorsal side up body orientation due to the activity of the 27 postural control system driven by limb mechanoreceptors. Binaural galvanic vestibular 28 stimulation (GVS) causes a lateral body sway towards the anode. Previously we have 29 shown that this new position is actively stabilized, suggesting that GVS changes a set30 point in the reflex mechanisms controllin...
متن کاملEffects of galvanic vestibular stimulation on event related potentials
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation on event-related potentials. [Subjects and Methods] Forty normal female adult subjects were randomly distributed to a galvanic vestibular stimulation application group (20 subjects) and sham group (20 subjects). For galvanic vestibular stimulation application, a positive electrode was applied to th...
