Comparison of Postural Responses to Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation between Pilots and the General Populace
Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) can be used to study the body's response to vestibular stimuli. This study aimed to investigate whether postural responses to GVS were different between pilots and the general populace. Bilateral bipolar GVS was applied with a constant-current profile to 12 pilots and 12 control subjects via two electrodes placed over the mastoid processes. Both GVS thresho...
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 کاملSomatosensory influence on postural response to galvanic vestibular stimulation.
We investigated how postural responses to galvanic vestibular stimulation were affected by standing on a translating support surface and by somatosensory loss due to diabetic neuropathy. We tested the hypothesis that an unstable surface and somatosensory loss can result in an increase of vestibulospinal sensitivity. Bipolar galvanic vestibular stimulation was applied to subjects who were standi...
متن کاملEffects of galvanic vestibular stimulation on postural limb reflexes and neurons of spinal postural network.
Quadrupeds maintain the dorsal side up body orientation due to the activity of the postural control system driven by limb mechanoreceptors. Binaural galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) causes a lateral body sway toward the anode. Previously, we have shown that this new position is actively stabilized, suggesting that GVS changes a set point in the reflex mechanisms controlling body posture. T...
متن کاملShort-duration galvanic vestibular stimulation evokes prolonged balance responses.
The application of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) evokes distinct responses in lower limb muscles involved in the control of balance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the balance and lower limb muscle responses to short-duration GVS and to determine whether these responses are modulated by small changes in center of gravity (CoG) and baseline muscle activity occurring during ...
