Effects of Korean Red Ginseng against Ototoxic Drugs and Age-related Cochleo-vestibular Dysfunction
… ear hair cells and cause both hearing loss and vestibular impairment. 3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NP), a mitochondrial toxin, has been reported to induce an acute cochlear damage. There are no therapeutic interventions have been developed for age related inner ear disorder which is one of the most …

Implications of Vestibular Dysfunction Among the Aging Population: A Pocket Guide for Health Care Professionals
… required to ensure all patients with a vestibular impairment are cared for and treated appropriately. The following guide includes overview of the vestibular system, vestibulotoxic medications, and common vestibular disorders. These notable areas are required for appropriate treatment …

Novel Mechanisms in Zebrafish Otolith Nucleation, Tethering, and Dysfunction
… of zebrafish otolith nucleation, tethering, and dysfunction. Here I show that 1) otolith nucleation is impaired in three zebrafish mutants with mutations in polyketide synthase, 2) otolin-1b is a putative component of the cuticular plate and involved with otolith growth and maintenance, and 3) …

Advances in the assessment and rehabilitation of older adult fallers
… A case control trial was performed to compare vestibular function in older adult fallers and age matched healthy individuals (Chapter 4). Both groups were compared to age matched patients with known peripheral vestibular dysfunction across a range of physical and questionnaire measures. It was …

Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials and Postural Control in Adults with Age-Related Hearing Loss
… and afferent structures of the cochlea. Vestibular function, as measured through vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) also show decreases with age. VEMPs are a measurement of evoked potentials generated by auditory stimulation of the utricle and saccule measured through a …

A study of the effects of sensory state on rhesus monkey postural control
… chronic balance impairment issues derived from vestibular dysfunction. For patients suffering from severe vestibular dysfunction, maintaining balance in daily activities, such as walking on an uneven surface at night, turning one's head, or attempting to stand on a moving surface, can prove …

Co-diagnosis Frequency of Peripheral Vestibular Disorders and Physical Therapy
… common causes of dizziness related to peripheral vestibular dysfunction are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and vestibular hypofunction (VH). Physical therapy (PT) is an effective component of the medical management for both conditions. The occurrence rate of concurrent BPPV and VH in …

Computerized rotational head impulse test : age-dependent normative data
… SCC functioning and no symptoms or history of vestibular dysfunction, were recruited through convenience sampling and assessed with the crHIT using stationary targets. These participants were assessed using two standard protocols in a randomized order. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and …

Effect of Vestibular Adaptation Exercises on Chronic Motion Sensitivity
… care physicians. It is often associated with vestibular dysfunction and typically impacts postural stability. Motion sickness, or motion sensitivity, is stimulated by abnormal spatial orientation and is a common symptom related to dizziness and postural instability. The main cause of the …

Measurement of head acceleration and angular rate experienced by aerobatic pilots
… can be associated with career-limiting neurovestibular effects including “the wobblies.” Extensive research has been conducted on the effects of positive G’s in centrifuge experiments. Gz tolerances have been quantified for gray-out, black-out, and G-LOC. G-induced vestibular dysfunction or …

Right Hemisphere Activation to Rotary Stress in High and Low Hostile Men
… about the vertical neuroaxis. Consistent with vestibular research indicating clockwise rotation impacts the right hemisphere (relative to counterclockwise rotation), it was expected that hostile individuals would exhibit higher skin conductance levels after rotation compared with low hostile …

Vestibular functioning and pathology in adults with HIV/AIDS : a comparative study
… the head and neck. Disorders of the auditory and vestibular systems are often associated with HIV/AIDS, however the extent and nature of these vestibular manifestations is still largely unknown. The main aim of this research study was to investigate vestibular functioning and pathology in adults …
