OBJECTIVE: Numerous studies have identified an association between @entity2794 and vestibular symptoms, such as dizziness, vertigo, and motion sensitivity. Using bipolar, binaural @entity394 ( @entity394 ), our objectives were to (1) determine the degree of vestibular sensitivity in borderline @entity10 sufferers, and (2) characterize the postural response to vestibular perturbation in these individuals. METHODS: Fourteen volunteers participated in this study: 8 individuals with @entity2794 (6 with @entity2704 and 2 with @entity2701 ( @entity2701 )), and 6 healthy control subjects. Thirty trials of 15-second duration were conducted across 6 conditions ( @entity394 left (L) or right (R), or no stimulation (No @entity394 ) with either @entity735 closed (EC)). Peak medial-lateral (M-L) centre of pressure (CoP) was calculated during quiet stance. RESULTS: @entity10 subjects demonstrated significantly higher peak displacement of the M-L CoP than control subjects (p=0.0461). Although peak M-L CoP in both the EO (p = 0.0753) and EC (p=0.09623) visual conditions were not significantly different between @entity10 sufferers compared to healthy controls, there is some suggestion that @entity1 with @entity2794 may use vestibular information to a greater extent and that the presence of vision may not sufficiently compensate for vestibular induced instability. The initial push M-L CoP was not significantly different between groups, suggesting different sensory contributions for the initial and latter response to @entity394 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 with @entity2794 exhibit increased postural sway, which may reflect the re-weighting of sensory information with an increased vestibular and a reduced visual contribution to postural control. SIGNIFICANCE: These results support existing research on @entity394 in @entity2794 sufferers that may provide a basis for future treatment therapies.
