MECHANISMS OF GAZE STABILITY DURING WALKING: BEHAVIORAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES RELATING GAZE STABILITY TO OSCILLOPSIA
… objects and individuals in the environment. The vestibular system contributes to postural control during walking and also to stabilization of the eyes during head motion which may allow for more accurate use of visual information. This dissertation reports the findings of five experiments which …

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 …

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 …

Interaktion der visuellen, somatosensorischen und vestibulären Sinnessysteme bei der Gleichgewichtskontrolle
… Patienten mit einem beidseitigen vollständigen Vestibularisausfall hatten die Aufgabe, sich aufrecht stehend auf einer bewegbaren Plattform zu stabilisieren. Sinusförmige Bewegungen des sie umgebenden visuellen Raumes simulierten Eigenbewegungen der Versuchspersonen (Rotationsachse im …

EFFECTS OF VESTIBULAR TRAINING ON POSTURAL CONTROL OF HEALTHY ADULTS
… the postural control system’s reliance on the vestibular system. Despite this, vestibular loss can still cause severe postural dysfunction. Training one or more of the three sensory systems can alter sensory weighting and change postural behavior. Exercises to activate the vestibular system is …
