Biped robot with a vestibular system
… by an accelerometer which is on the robot. This system incorporates the use of angular motion sensing of the robot segment that contains the linear accelerometers. This system was formulated based on human motion sensing and what probably is present in the human central nervous system for …

Relationship between Vestibular System, Vision, Anxiety, and Chronic Motion Sensitivity
… without CMS. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether vestibular system integrity, dependence on visual cues for postural stability, and the anxiety level are different between young adults with and without CMS, and whether it differs by gender within each group. METHODS: Sixty young adults (30 females …

Impact of Extremely Low-Frequency Magnetic and Electric Stimuli on Vestibular-Driven Outcomes
The vestibular system is extremely sensitive to electric fields (E-fields). Indeed, vestibular hair cells are graded potential cells and this property makes them very susceptible to small membrane potential modulations. Studies show that extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) induced …

The relationship between motor proficiency, bilateral vestibular hypofunction and dynamic visual acuity in children with congenital or early acquired sensorineural hearing loss
The functional integrity of the vestibular system in children is not often tested. Due to the close relationship between the cochlea and the peripheral vestibular system, the function of the vestibular system may be impaired in children with sensorineural hearing loss.The aims of this study were to …

Adaptation to a linear vection stimulus in a virtual reality environment
In the zero-gravity environment of space, the vestibular system's functioning is compromised and astronauts receive conflicting visual and vestibular cues concerning body orientation and motion. Experiment 136 on the Neurolab space shuttle mission explored this research question. The current …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The effect of mechanical vestibular stimulation on muscle tone and spasticity in individuals with neurological impairment
… mainly in Cerebral Palsy (CP) and to examine vestibular stimulation as a future intervention for .muscle tone reduction, and to be able to describe the change in level of spasticity in subjects with disability and describe interventions effects, a series of experiments are done on children …

A human analog for benchmarking vestibular tests in a roto-tilt chair
… of the peripheral sensory organs of the vestibular system, as well as some diagnostic tests of the inner ear. Using previous work in vestibular modeling and prosthetics development, this thesis then brings focus to the development and testing of an experimental model that will be used to …

Effect of Progressive Gaze Stability Exercises on Holistic Aspects of Chronic Motion Sensitivity
… There is a close relationship between the vestibular system and motion sensitivity and vestibular system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of progressive gaze stability exercises on holistic aspects of chronic motion sensitivity. Methods: A single blind randomized …

Experimental Measurements of Vestibular Hair Bundle Stiffness in the Red Ear Slider Turtle Utricle
… maintaining equilibrium. In the inner ear, the vestibular system is responsible for the sense of balance. The main organs of the vestibular system are the semicircular canals, the saccule, and the utricle. Within each of the vestibular organs, sensory receptors in the form of hair cells detect …

The Vestibular System's Influence on the Perceived Duration of Lights, Sounds, and Touches
… duration with and without disruptive galvanic vestibular stimulation (dGVS). Results revealed that light and tactile stimuli were perceived as longer than auditory stimuli, but the perception of auditory and tactile durations was unaffected by posture. However, visual duration was perceived as …

The effect of sleep on the adaptation to the cross-coupled stimulus during artificial gravity
… result in a cross coupled stimulus (CCS) to the vestibular system. This stimulus, when experienced repetitively by an untrained subject, often leads to motion sickness, inappropriate compensatory eye movements, and a perceived illusory tumbling sensation. Previous studies have shown that subjects …
