Effects of a Vestibular Stifilulatio

چکیده
This study measures the effect of a vestibular stimulal10n program on the stereo typic rocking behavIor of three severely mentally retarded persons within both experimental and natural settmgs. A multiple baselme desIgn was used. Frequency and duration of stereotypic rocking behavior were measured by a partwl-intervaltime sample. Results indicated a statistically sIgnifIcant reduction of both frequency and duration of rockmg behavior directly after recezving vestibular stimulation and 1 hour after stimulation. The rocking behavwr remained reduced after 6 days without the vestibular stimulation program. It was concluded that vestibular stimulation resulted in a reduction of the stereotypic rocking behavior of these sub;'ects.

Introduction: Although vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) methods are relatively popular in treating patients with body balance deficits of vestibular origin, only limited studies have been conducted into customized exercises for unilateral vestibular hypofunction (UVH). Furthermore, very little evidence is available on the outcomes of VRT in the elderly population with chronic UVH. Materi...
