Effects of practicing tandem gait with and without vibrotactile biofeedback in subjects with unilateral vestibular loss.
Subjects with unilateral vestibular loss exhibit motor control impairments as shown by body and limb deviation during gait. Biofeedback devices have been shown to improve stance postural control, especially when sensory information is limited by environmental conditions or pathologies such as unilateral vestibular loss. However, the extent to which biofeedback could improve motor performance or...
متن کاملAudio Biofeedback of Trunk Accelerations Improves Balance in Subjects with Bilateral Vestibular Loss
Humans maintain balance based on the information provided by the visual, vestibular and somatosensory systems. When one or more of these sensory systems is not available, balance is affected. Subjects who have lost vestibular function lack linear and angular head acceleration which provides information correlated with body sway and orientation with respect to gravity. Visual biofeedback of stan...
متن کاملEffects of vibrotactile vestibular substitution on vestibular rehabilitation - preliminary study.
INTRODUCTION Some patients with severe impairment of body balance do not obtain adequate improvement from vestibular rehabilitation (VR). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of Vertiguard™ biofeedback equipment as a sensory substitution (SS) of the vestibular system in patients who did not obtain sufficient improvement from VR. METHODS This was a randomized prospective clinical study. T...
متن کاملBilateral vestibular loss in vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia.
Bilateral vestibular loss (BVL) is a relatively uncommon syndrome that may produce problems of balance; unsteady gait, especially in the dark; and visual disorders and/or oscillopsia associated with walking and head movements. Sometimes patients with BVL remain asymptomatic. Ototoxic drugs are the most frequently identified cause of BVL, but there are many other possible causes. The aetiology r...
متن کاملVisual and proprioceptive interaction in patients with bilateral vestibular loss☆
Following bilateral vestibular loss (BVL) patients gradually adapt to the loss of vestibular input and rely more on other sensory inputs. Here we examine changes in the way proprioceptive and visual inputs interact. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate visual responses in the context of varying levels of proprioceptive input in 12 BVL subjects and 15 normal contro...
