Falls and fall-induced injuries are major global public health problems. Balance and gait
disorders have been the second leading cause of falls. Inertial motion sensors and force …

As we age, there is a wide range of changes in motor, sensory, cognitive, and temporal
processing due to alterations in the functioning of the central nervous and musculoskeletal …

Objective: To examine the effect of an imperceptible level of galvanic vestibular stimulation
(GVS), delivered as zero-mean current noise (noisy GVS), on postural performance in …

We previously published vestibular perceptual thresholds and performance in the Modified
Romberg Test of Standing Balance in 105 healthy humans ranging from ages 18 to 80. Self …

Objectives Noise often has detrimental effects on performance. However, because of the
phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR), auditory white noise (WN) can alter the “signal …

Patients with bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) suffer from persistent imbalance during standing
and walking as well as an impaired gaze stabilization during head movements. Disabilities …

Background: In patients with bilateral vestibulopathy, the regular treatment options, such as
medication, surgery, and/or vestibular rehabilitation, do not always suffice. Therefore, the …

Connections between the vestibular system and the basal ganglia have been sporadically
studied over the last century. Electrophysiological studies of field potentials in animals have …

Background White noise galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is thought to enhance the
sensitivity of vestibular organs. Objective To examine the effects of noise-enhanced …

Redirected walking (RDW) is a technology that enables users to walk seamlessly in an
enormous virtual space within a narrow real space while avoiding collisions with physical …
