  • Title: [Correlation of the evoked vestibulo-postural reaction and spontaneous body sway while standing].
    Author: Krizková M, Hlavacka F.
    Journal: Bratisl Lek Listy; 1990 Mar; 91(3):237-40. PubMed ID: 2340424.
    Abstract:
    The stability of upright posture was studied by the method of stabilometry in 16 healthy subjects. The efficacy of involving visual, vestibular and proprioceptive afferentation in maintaining posture was examined in four test situations. A direct correlation of stabilometric parameters was established at posture on soft surface and at galvanic stimulation of the vestibular analyzer. The recorded data indicate an indirect correlation between the sensitivity of the vestibular sensor and the sensitivity of that part of the central nervous system which processes vestibular information. The observed relationship results presumably from the action of central compensatory mechanisms in the function of the vestibulo-postural circuit.
