Effects of Stochastic Vestibular Galvanic Stimulation and LDOPA on Balance and Motor Symptoms in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
BACKGROUND Balance problems contribute to reduced quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD) and available treatments are often insufficient for treating axial and postural motor symptoms. OBJECTIVE To investigate the safety of use and possible effects of stochastic vestibular stimulation (SVS) alone and combined with LDOPA in patients with PD. METHODS SVS or sham stimulation was administe...
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...
متن کاملMultifaceted effects of noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation on manual tracking behavior in Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative movement disorder that is characterized clinically by slowness of movement, rigidity, tremor, postural instability, and often cognitive impairments. Recent studies have demonstrated altered cortico-basal ganglia rhythms in PD, which raises the possibility of a role for non-invasive stimulation therapies such as noisy galvanic vestibular stimulatio...
