Habituation to galvanic vestibular stimulation for analysis of susceptibility to carsickness.

Objective: In a previous study we developed a standardized procedure for a reproducible quantification of galvanic-induced body sway (GBS). In line with other reports, GBS shows short-term (fast) habituation upon stimulus repetition. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the degree of short-term habituation to galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is correlated with susceptibility to carsickness.

Galvanic-induced body sway in vestibular schwannoma patients: evidence for stimulation of the central vestibular system.

Objective: To investigate the various possible sites of excitation by galvanic stimulation by comparing the galvanic-induced body sway (GBS) in vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients with that in healthy subjects.

Material And Methods: This was a prospective experimental study conducted in a tertiary referral centre. In a previous study we developed a standardized procedure for reproducible quantification of GBS using a monaural continuous 1-cosinusoidal stimulus (0.

Habituation to galvanic vestibular stimulation.

Objective: To examine the response decline that occurs upon repetitive galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) and hampers long-term clinical evaluations.

Material And Methods: This was a prospective experimental study conducted in a tertiary referral centre. In a previous study we developed a standardized procedure for reproducible quantification of galvanic-induced body sway (GBS).

Habituation to galvanic vestibular stimulation for analysis of postural control abilities in gymnasts.

The possible correlation between postural control abilities in gymnasts and the sensitivity for and the degree of short-term habituation to galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) was studied. Seven balance trained young girls (Dutch National Junior Gymnasts Championship) versus seven non-trained girls and twenty-five women underwent computer-controlled GVS using a monaural continuous 1-cosinusoidal stimulus of 0.5 Hz and 2 mA, repeated three times on each side [Balter, Stokroos, Boumans, Kingma, Acta Otolaryngol.

Background on methods of stimulation in galvanic-induced body sway in young healthy adults.

The aim of this study was to develop a standardized procedure for reproducible quantification of galvanic-induced body sway (GBS). This was a prospective experimental study conducted in a tertiary referral centre. An exploratory study was first conducted to define the galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) method that resulted in the best reproducible responses.
