System identification of the vestibular ocular reflex via visual and vestibular co-stimulation
The study of eye motions involved in the vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) is a key tool for understanding the performance of the vestibular system and for the diagnosis of dysfunction. Limitations in experimental equipment and in the analytic methods applied have resulted in VOR testing being …

Biped robot with a vestibular system
The kinematics and dynamics of two legged or biped walking is considered. The resulting governing equations include actuator torques for a robot and muscle generated torques for a human. These torques are those necessary at each joint of a leg, including the foot, for a successful stride. The …

Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation Applied to Flight Training
… 184 of them resulting in fatalities. Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) provides a cost effective and safe way to simulate spatial disorientation and potentially test pilot’s vestibular system prior to aircraft operation. This experiment investigates the use of GVS as an indicator of motion …

Eye movement studies with a vestibular prosthesis/
Vestibular loss, which can manifest as dizziness, imbalance, or spatial disorientation, is widespread and often caused by inner ear hair cell malfunction. To address these problems, we are developing a vestibular implant analogous to cochlear implants for the deaf. This vestibular prosthesis …

Mechanical modeling of vestibular hair cell bundles
… three actual bundles. These are all taken from vestibular organs of turtles, two from the posterior semicircular canal and one from the utricle. I present estimations of stiffness, tip link tensions, and nonlinear response. Finally, I investigate a single cilium forced by a fluid flow. The …

The effects of aging and unilateral vestibular disorders on the kinematic performance of vestibular rehabilitation exercises and physical function
… study was to evaluate the effects of unilateral vestibular disorders and aging on functional performances of activities of daily living and vestibular rehabilitation exercises by examining the correlations among actual and perceived functional measures, the kinematic measurement differences among …

Modeling the electrical stimulation of peripheral vestibular nerves
… of electrodes for a proposed implantable vestibular prosthesis to aid patients suffering from balance related disorders. The most likely sites of stimulation for the first-generation of such a device are the peripheral nerves responsible for transmitting rotational information to the …

A parametric study of vestibular stimulation during centrifugation
… centrifugation, however, trigger a disturbing vestibular response that is only qualitatively understood. In order to design an efficient incremental adaptation procedure, the present study investigates the quantitative aspect of the vestibular side effects associated with AG, in particular, the …

Effects of aberrant visuo-vestibular information on higher cognition
… the peripheral and central components of the vestibular and visual systems. The peripheral structures code information pertaining to the spatial relationships and motion of the whole body. The central networks modulate and integrate this ‘space-motion information’. Coding or modulatory …

The incorporation of musculosketal exercises in traditional vestibular rehabilitation
<p>The vestibular system of the human body is responsible for gait control and spatial orientation. Like all human organs, the vestibular system can deteriorate through sickness or aging. Vestibular rehabilitation is aimed at reducing dizziness and imbalance through physical therapy. Patients …
