Galvanic vestibular stimulation improves arm position sense in spatial neglect: a sham-stimulation-controlled study.
BACKGROUND Disturbed arm position sense (APS) is a frequent and debilitating condition in patients with hemiparesis after stroke. Patients with neglect, in particular, show a significantly impaired contralesional APS. Currently, there is no treatment available for this disorder. Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) may ameliorate neglect and extinction by activating the thalamocortical network...
متن کاملGalvanic vestibular stimulation in hemi-spatial neglect
Hemi-spatial neglect is an attentional disorder in which the sufferer fails to acknowledge or respond to stimuli appearing in contralesional space. In recent years, it has become clear that a measurable reduction in contralesional neglect can occur during galvanic vestibular stimulation, a technique by which transmastoid, small amplitude current induces lateral, attentional shifts via asymmetri...
متن کاملDifferential effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation on arm position sense in right- vs. left-handers.
The human brain is organized asymmetrically in two hemispheres with different functional specializations. Left- and right-handers differ in many functional capacities and their anatomical representations. Right-handers often show a stronger functional lateralization than left-handers, the latter showing a more bilateral, symmetrical brain organization. Recent functional imaging evidence shows a...
متن کاملInfluence of the stimulus parameters of galvanic vestibular stimulation on unilateral spatial neglect.
Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) stimulates the vestibular system electrically with low-amplitude direct current through surface electrodes applied to the left and right mastoids. The effects of GVS on unilateral spatial neglect (USN) in poststroke patients were recently reported, but the influence of the current intensity and application duration of GVS on USN has not been sufficiently in...
متن کاملElectrotactile feedback of sway position improves postural performance during galvanic vestibular stimulation.
The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of electrotactile feedback on postural control performance during binaural galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS). Postural equilibrium was measured with a computerized hydraulic platform in 10 healthy adults (6M, 4F, 24-65 y). Feedback of anterior-posterior (AP) and mediallateral (ML) body sway was derived from a 2-axis linear accelerometer ...
